Compared to two weeks ago; Steers 550lbs and higher 5.00 to 8.00 higher with instances up to 12.00 higher. Not all weights well tested for comparison in steers. No weights well tested for comparison in heifers but showing a steady to upward trend. Large quantity of heifers available in today's offering. Flesh condition light to moderate plus. Good buyer demand.
