Compared to the sale last week: Steers 500-550 lbs were 4.00 to sharply higher, 600-650 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower, 700-750 lbs steady to 6.00 higher. Larger offering of 800-850 lbs steers today, bringing 5.00-10.00 increase. Heifers 450-500 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher, 550-700 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower. Larger offering of 750 lb heifers brought 7.00 increase. Heifers 800-850 lbs were 1.00-2.00 higher. Many load lots in the offering today, mostly of 700-850+ lb steers and heifers. Plenty of smaller strings of both calves and yearlings. Demand good throughout the sale. Lots of interest in load lots and big groups of heavy steers today.
