Compared to last week's auction, 500 - 600 lb steers were 6.00 - 9.00 higher. Heifer trade was fully steady. Load lots of quality yearling cattle available. Supply was moderate, trade was active. Demand was good to very good for today's offering of green, long time weaned and vaccinated fall calf crop.
