Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs sold sharply higher, calves over 500 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Mostly calves on offer this week with only a handful of yearlings offered in small lots. Buyers were aggressive on nearly all weights of cattle with bidding reaching some prices that might make one do a double take, particularly on some light heifer calves. Supply light, demand very good.
