Compared to last week steers 500-750 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher with steers over 750 lbs selling steady. Heifers under 550 lbs sold sharply higher with heifers over 600 lbs selling 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Some consignments came to the ring carrying tag (mud) and demand was good from the buyers in the crowd and on the internet.
