Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on a light test, with 6 weight steers selling 10.00-20.00 higher and 7 weight steers trading mostly 6.00-8.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-700 lbs sold 5.00-8.00 higher, spots 10.00 higher on the 5 weights with a pot load of 719 lb heifers trading 3.00 higher and pot load weighing 780 lbs traded with a higher undertone. Demand was very good on a moderate supply with a overall quality also very good as feeders sold on and active market. Several stick out sales included the pot loads with a pot load of 820 lb steers at 278.00, pot load of 680 lb heifers at 280.25, pot load heifers weighing 719 lbs at 273.75 and pot load of heifers weighing 788 lbs at 258.35. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold 5.00-15.00 higher than two weeks ago.
