Compared to last week steer calves under 550 there was not a good test, steers 550 lbs to 700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher, steers over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. There was not a good test on heifer calves under 500 lbs, heifer calves 500 to 700 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower, and heifers 700 to 900 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. The demand was moderate on a moderate supply.
