Compared to the sale last week: Light steers 550-700 lbs were mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Heavier steers 750-950 lbs mostly steady to 2.00 higher with instances 8.00 higher. Light heifers 600-650 lbs were 1.00 lower with instances 6.00 lower. Flesh condition contributing to market prices today. Heifers 700-750 lbs were 6.00 higher. Many load lots of mostly yearling cattle in the offering today, along with a great deal of smaller packages. Crowded arena today. Demand was good throughout the sale.
