Compared to last week, 400-500 lb steer calves were not well tested, with 500-600 lbs selling steady to 10.00 lower, 600-700 lbs steers didn't have the overall quality or weighing conditions to match up well with last week's offering and sold with a lower undertone, pot load of 852 lb steers sold 7.00 lower. Heifer calves weighing 450-500 lbs on a light test sold steady with 500-650 lbs all selling steady to firm on similar quality and comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering. Overall quality and weighing conditions on feeder steers especially weighing 600-700 lbs was not near as attractive as last week's offering which was a very active market. Couple stick-out sales included the heifers with 68 hd weighing 576 lbs at 390.00 and 85 hd weighing 648 lbs at 383.00. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
