Compared to last sale (Tuesday), all classes sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher, with 7 weight steers up to 9.00 higher. Large offering today of quality load lots of green, long-time weaned and vaccinated steer/heifer calves. Many opportunities for reputation replacement heifers in large groups. Demand was good to very good.
