Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs on a light offering sold with a firm to higher undertone, with 550-600 lbs steers trading 5.00-10.00 higher with 6 weight steers fully steady. Heifer calves were lightly tested and sold mostly steady on a light offering with 95 hd 1002 heifers selling with a higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate offering with calves selling mostly in small groups and packages but overall quality was good. The stick out sale of the day was the 95 heifers weighing 1002 lbs dropped the gavel at 306.50. Slaughter steers and heifers and slaughter cows all sold steady to firm.
