Compared to two weeks ago, light volume of steer calves under 500 lbs sold with a weak undertone noted; 500 to 700 lbs 4.00 to 7.00 higher; yearlings over 700 lbs steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold on a light test with a higher undertone noted; 500 to 600 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower; over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher; yearling heifers no recent price comparison. Several groups of quality unweaned calves and a few load lots of reputation yearlings were on offer today. Slaughter cows cows and bulls sold on a weaker undertone. Buyer attendance and demand was good for a moderate sale supply.
