Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers had a lighter test with a higher undertone. Heifers, made up mostly of six weight cattle, also had a lighter test with a lower undertone. Some of the cattle exhibited a moderate amount of mud due to the recent thawing. Supply was moderate that included several load lots of yearling cattle. Demand was good.
