Compared to two weeks ago, steers over 800 lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower and heifers over 750 lbs sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd. The bulk of the offering consisted of yearling steers and spayed heifers coming off the short summer grass along with quite a few consignments of preg-checked open heifers.
