Compared to the sale last week: light steers 550-700 lbs were mostly 4.00-7.00 higher. Heavier steers 750-900 lbs were mostly 3.00-5.00 higher. Light heifers 500-650 lbs were mostly 5.00-8.00 higher. Heavier heifers 700-750 lbs 5.00-7.00 lower. Yearling heifers 950 lbs 4.00 higher. Plenty of load lots of both light and heavy cattle in the offering today, along with lots of cattle over 1,000 lbs. Demand good, especially for light calves 700 lbs and under and yearling cattle.
