Compared to last week the only weigh of steers with numbers for comparison were 650 to 700 lbs. that were 4.00 higher this week. The only weights of heifers for a comparison were 450 to 500 lbs. and 550 to 600 lbs. that were steady from last week. Other weights of steers and heifers did not have the numbers for a comparison this week. Todays offering consisted of small lots of steers and heifers and most were carrying a lot of tag. It appeared that todays offering was a coral clean out with an impeding storm coming in this week and to make room for new born calves. Buyers still pushing the market this week to get orders filled even though the quality of the offering this week was lower.
