Nice offering of light cattle this week. Compared to last week steers and heifers under 500 lbs there was to few for a good comparison. Steers 500 to 650 lbs were steady to 10.00 higher and steers 650 to 700 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower and steers over 700 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers 500 - 900 lbs were steady to 10.00 higher and 950 to 1000 lb heifers were 2.00 lower. The supply was good with good demand.
