Compared to the auction two weeks ago, steers under 500 lbs. and steers between 650 and 750 lbs. sold sharply lower, while all other steers sold mostly 6.00 to 25.00 lower. Heifers sold mostly 6.00 to 26.00 lower. There were just a handful of load lots in the offering today. Supply was moderate to heavy and three consignors brought nearly 450 head. Demand was good to very good today.
