Compared to the last reported auction two weeks ago (Feb 12) steers 450-550 lbs. sold 2.00-7.00 higher. A good number of good quality steers 650-700 lbs. were 4.50 higher and steers weighing over 700 lbs. ended mixed. Heifers under 700 lbs. sold steady to 4.50 lower and heavier weight heifers did not have enough numbers on both auctions to compare. Trading was active and demand was good for the heavy offerings.
