Compared to last week there was no good comparisons for steers under 700 lbs. Steers 700 to 950 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs there was no good comparison. Heifers 650 to 700 lbs sold 3.00 lower while 700 to 850 lb steers sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was light on a light to moderate supply.
