Compared to the sale two weeks ago, nearly all steers sold were from one consignor who brought nearly 750 head of nine- and ten-weight steers. The nine-weight steers sold 7.00 higher, while others were not well compared. Nearly all the heifers were from one consignor who brought nearly 140 head of seven-weight heifers and a higher undertone was noted although not well compared. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was moderate and included several load lots of nine- and ten-weight steers.
