Compared to last week, steers over 750 lbs and heifers over 700 lbs sold steady, weak undertone noted. Steer and heifer calves not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher. Several replacement quality heifers sold sharply higher. Condition and quality contributed to buyer discretion. Good demand for heavy supply.
