Compared with two weeks ago 850 to 900 lbs steers traded unevenly steady, while 850 lbs heifers traded 4.00 lower and 900 lbs heifers traded 2.00 higher. Demand was good with the first show of Spring calves off the cow and a few consignments of weaned calves. Active internet bidding for the day from the internet.
