Compared with two weeks ago, 550 to 1050 lbs steers traded 4.00 to 15.00 higher, a limited number of comparable offerings for heifers with 450 to 500 lbs offerings trading steady to 10.00 higher. Demand was very good today for yearling offerings weaned and non-weaned Spring calves. Several consignments of Charolais black nose cross and Red Angus calves today.
