Compared to the comparable offerings from last week steers over 550 lbs sold unevenly steady and heifers over 500 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. The consignment sheet consisted of long time weaned and vaccinated steers and heifers with fall bred cows selling in the mix.
