Compared to two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold with a lower undertone. Yearling steers sold firm to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Calf quality a little below average ahead of the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Special in two weeks. Several loads of yearling steers were met with very good demand. Supply moderate.
