Compared to the sale two weeks ago, 500 to 550 and 600 to 650 lbs. steers sold mostly 7.00 to 12.00 higher, while 550 to 600 lbs. steers were 20.00 higher. Heifers under 750 lbs. sold 18.00 to 22.00 higher. Wind damage at the sale barn from late last week did not hamper demand. Supply was moderate to heavy that included several load lots of reputation cattle.
