Compared to last week, best tested weight was on yearling feeder steers over 800 lbs, on these weights, most lots sold unevenly steady with steers over 1000 lbs trending 10.00 lower. Not enough light cattle or heifers for a market comparison. Demand was moderate to good with quite a few order buyers on the seats. Bulk of Thursday's cattle came off of wheat pastures south of the Nebraska border.
