Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher except a larger offering of the 650-750 lb steers that sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good for a heavy supply and the quality was attractive with several reputation consignments. This was the last sale of the year for WLA, an impressive year for the cattle market as a whole.
