Compared to a thin test from two weeks ago steers and heifers over 700 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. The offering consisted of yearlings and fall calves both weaned and bawlers selling in load lots and packages.
