Compared to last week, steers 600 lbs to 650 lbs sold 20.00 higher. Steers and heifers over 700 lbs to 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Steers and heifers over 800 lbs, with a lesser quality condition, sold steady. Steer and heifer calves, not enough for market test. Breaker and Boning utility sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher while Lean utility sold steady with a strong undertone. Good demand for moderate to heavy supply.
