Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs. were 3.00-6.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Heifers were mostly higher with those under 500 lbs. selling 3.00-4.00 higher and the 550-700 lbs. heifers ending 2.50-7.50 higher. The exceptions were the 500-550 pound heifers which were 4.00 lower and the 700-800 lb. heifers that were 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trading was active.
