Compared to last week's light run, steer calves under 700 lbs. sold unevenly steady from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold steady to 4.00 lower. There were too few yearlings last week for a comparison, however undertones were steady to weak. Demand was good and improved throughout the day as the CME Cattle Futures traded sharply higher. The supply was lighter than expected with many waiting to bring their weaned and vaccinated calves to the special Wean-Vac sale this Friday. The largest draft of the day was 235 head of 899 lb. steers which brought 208.00/cwt.
