Compared to last week, steers were 10.00 - 20.00 higher under 600 lbs and over 600 lbs were 2.00 - 5.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs were 2.00 - 11.00 higher and over 600 were 2.00 - 5.00 lower, except 650 lbs was 6.00 higher. Demand was good to moderate with a lot of grass cattle offered . Large crowd on a cold day internet was real busy.
