Compared to last week all classes and weights were sharply lower, with the exception of 400-450 lb. heifers which sold steady to 1.00 higher. Steers 500-750 lbs. sold 10.00-15.00 lower and the 750-950 lb. steers were 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifers 450-650 lbs. sold 1.50-8.00 lower, while the 650-800 lb. heifers were 5.00-8.00 lower. Trade was active, however demand was light for the heavy offerings.
