*CLOSE* Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs steady, steers over 700 lbs and heifers (all weights) steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls steady compared to last Wednesday's sale. Demand moderate to good, supply heavy. The weather was much improved over last Monday helped with gathering and transporting cattle to market .
