Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower, with weights over 700 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher with the most advance on the 500-550 lb heifers and 650-700 lbs selling steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows on a light test traded mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good on a good offering of top quality calves and yearlings, many calves were unweaned but had two round of shots. There were two pot loads of yearling steers weighing 790 lbs top quality and selling with good weighing conditions sold with good demand. CME Feeder cattle futures had a good day building support as traders step back into the market.
