Compared to last week . Steers under 650 lbs. steady to 3.00 lower, 750-850 lbs. 4.00-5.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs were 2.00-3.00 lower. There weren't enough heavier heifers for a good comparison. Fleshy cattle sold at a discount. Trade was active. Demand was moderate for the moderate offerings.
