Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly steady to 7.00 lower. Heifers under 650 lbs. sold mostly sharply higher although not well compared, while heifers over 650 lbs. sold mostly 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was heavy today. There were several load lots of yearly cattle.
