Compared to two weeks ago steers under 500 lbs. sold 5.00-9.00 lower, while the 500-700 lb. steers were 5.00-7.00 higher. Steers over 750 lbs. were steady to 6.00 lower. Heifers 450-750 lbs. were steady to 3.50 lower. The 600-750 lb. heifers were 1.50 lower to 7.00 higher, and those over 750 lbs. did not have enough numbers for comparison. Demand was good for the heavy offerings. Supply included several load lots. Trading was active.
