Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves weighing below 550 pounds sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. These weights were in high demand for grass. Calves carrying extra flesh were discounted accordingly creating large price spreads. Calves weighing over 550 including yearlings sold steady with light demand. Slaughter cows and bulls fully steady.
