Compared to last week, steers less than 700 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, instances 20.00 higher on a flat 6 weight steer. Over 700 lbs sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers sold unevenly steady with some weight groups over 650 lbs that may go as replacements sold close to 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good, instances very good on various weights. Sharp decline on the CME cattle boards on Thursday did not deter buyers from filling customer orders. Ownership, right now is the name of the game.
