Compared to last week steers over 550 lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher except 700-750 lbs steers selling steady to 10.00 lower, heifers over 600 lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. The consignment sheet consisted of long time weaned and vaccinated steers and heifers with quite a few replacement quality heifers listed.
