Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly steady to 4.00 lower, except the 600 to 650 lb. steers, they sold 6.00 higher. Heifers over 600 lbs. sold 5.00 to 16.00 higher, while heifers under 600 lbs. sold on a lighter test last week with a lower undertone noted. Rain for the day helped fill the seats and demand was very good. Supply was heavy with several load lots of reputation cattle.
