Compared to the last special two week's ago, steer calves weighing under 600 lbs sold mostly 5.00-7.00 lower, with 600-700 lbs trading steady to firm and over 700 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs on a much lighter test sold with a lower undertone, 600-700 lbs sold steady to firm and over 700 lbs were lightly tested. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Market two weeks ago was very aggressive on steer and heifer calves with Friday's offering not reaching the highs of two weeks ago as overall weighing conditions were not as attractive but calves still sold on a very active market with several part loads of yearling steers in the offering selling with very good demand with good weighing conditions. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm.
