Compared to two weeks ago steers over 750 lbs. sold mostly 6.00 higher to as much as 10.00 higher. The lighter steers were higher but didn't have the numbers both weeks to compare. Heifers under 650 lbs. were 6.00 higher, while the heavier heifers were sharply higher with limited comparable numbers. Several load lots were included in the offerings. Demand was good for the moderate to heavy offerings. Trade was active.
