Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs were lightly tested, with 500-600 lbs selling mostly steady to spots 3.00 lower, 600-650 lbs sold steady with 650-700 lbs selling 3.00-5.00 higher over 700 lbs were not tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold near steady on a light offering, with 600-800 lbs not well tested and a pot load of 888 lb heifers off the same consignment as two weeks ago sold 4.00 higher. Over all a nice quality offering of 500-700 lb steers and yearling heifers weighing 885-965 lbs. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. There was a large offering of slaughter steers and heifers along with slaughter cows which sold steady to firm.
