Compared to last week steers under 650 lbs. were 4.00-6.00 higher. The heavier steers didn't have enough numbers both weeks to compare. The light heifer calves were mostly 3.00 lower. The 900-950 lb. heifers were 3.00 higher, while the rest of the heavy heifers didn't have the volumes both weeks to compare. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trading was active.
