Compared to last week, steers less than 600 lbs sold 9.00 to 15.00 higher, over 
600 lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher instances 12.00 higher on 7 weights. Heifers 
less than 700 lbs sold steady to 9.00 higher over 700 lb sold 6.00 to 7.00 
higher. Demand was good to very good throughout the week. Most auctions had 
large crowds of order buyers along with some farmer/feeders procuring cattle. 
Also, internet buying was active.  It didn't matter to the buyers on the fall 
calves if they were weaned or bawlers. Just getting possession of lightweight 
cattle was their main goal.  Feedlots sold live sales 4.00 to 6.00 higher from 
212.00 to 214.00 and dressed sales sold 5.00 to 12.00 higher from 332.00 to 
340.00.

AgHost Livestock Close
