As filed

Compared to two weeks ago 500 to 650 lb steers sold mostly 4.00 to 8.00 higher and steers over 800 lbs sold mostly 10.00 higher while 700 to 800 lb steers sold 2.00 lower. Heifers sold mostly higher with 400 to 600 lb heifers selling 7.00 to 10 .00 higher and over 700 lbs sold mostly 1.00 to 4.00 higher while 650 to 700 lb heifers selling 4.00 lower. Again this was a comparison with 2 weeks ago due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The receipts were moderate and the demand was good.
