Compared to last week, steers 500 to 600 lbs sold 1.00-4.00 lower and steers 600 to 700 lbs sold 7.00-10.00 lower, heifers under 700 lbs sold 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand was moderate to active from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. The consignment sheet was shorter than expected due to a winter storm moving through the trade area over night and Saturday.
