Heifer calves 350-400 lbs 2.00 higher; 400-600 lbs 7.00-8.00 higher, except 500-550 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Feeder steers 5.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 2.00-4.00 higher on comparable sales. Trade active, demand good. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher, instances 5.00 higher. In the receipts were Thursday's replacement cow special sale that included near 700 head.
