Compared to the sale two weeks ago: No comparison on lightweight steers, as the numbers were limited in the previous sale. Yearling steers, 950 lbs, 2.00 lower. Heifers 700 lbs 10.00 lower, 800 lbs 1.00-2.00 higher, 850-900 lbs 4.00-7.00 lower, 950 lbs 1.00 lower. Many load lots of both calves and yearlings, along with plenty of smaller groups in the offering. Over 600 heifers in the 800 lb range today. Demand good, as buyers take advantage of the lower prices. Slaughter cows: Breaker cows 3.00-5.00 lower. Boner cows steady to 3.00 lower. Lean cows 2.00 higher. Not enough bulls for a trend.
