Compared to last week, the majority of steers weighed over 500 lbs and sold steady to 5.00 higher, but steer calves under 500 lbs were in high demand and sold 15.00-20.00 higher with instances of 30.00 higher on those under 425 lbs. Heifers sold mostly steady at impressive price levels but there were spots 3.00-4.00 lower off the very top of the ranges seen last week. Demand was very good for cattle under 750 lbs and good for a nice offering of yearling steers. Supply was moderate with several bigger consignments of long weaned cattle on hand and the quality and condition was very attractive. Buyers were active as they try to finish grass orders with what they know is a dwindling supply of hard weaned cattle. The outside economic distractions didn't seem to have too many buyers worried, however cattle futures have traded lower this week and there seemed to be a hint of resistance to pay higher prices on the heavier yearlings. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
