Compared to last week, calves were lightly tested but sold mostly steady, except for some 300-400 lb calves trading with a higher undertone. Yearlings sold steady. A moderate supply of mostly yearlings was offered that included eight load lots and demand was good to very good except for fleshier heifer calves seeing moderate to light demand. A handful of 300-450 lb calves saw very good demand as a few buyers were looking to procure some winter grazing cattle. Cattle futures were sharply higher to start the week. Slaughter cows sold steady, bulls mostly 2.00 higher.
