Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steer cattle sold mostly 3.00 to 17.00 higher. Heifers over 550 lbs. sold 5.00 to 19.00 higher, while lighter heifers, under 550 lbs. sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was heavy and included several load lots of reputation yearling cattle. Four consignors brought nearly 1,050 head.
