Compared to last week steers under 550 lbs. were 7.00-9.00 higher, while the 550-650 lb. steers sold 3.00-7.00 lower. Heavier weight steers saw 700-750 lb and the 800-850 lb sell 7.50 higher. Heifers 450-550 lbs. were 8.00-13.00 higher, while the 550-650 lb heifers were steady to 1.00 higher. The 650-700 lb. heifers were 3.00 lower. Other weight groups on steers and heifers did not have enough numbers on both auctions for comparison. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trade was active.
