As filed

Compared to Tuesday's auction steers 450-550 lbs. were 10.00-12.00 higher, while the 550-650 lb. steers were 2.00-7.00 lower. The 650-850 lb. steers were steady to 2.50 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs. were 5.00-12.00 higher and the 600-750 lb. heifers were 1.00-3.00 lower. Heifers over 750 lbs. did not have enough in both auctions to compare. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trade was active.
