Heifer calves under 600 lbs. steady except 500-600 lbs 5.00 higher, feeders 600-650 lbs 14.00 higher compared to limited receipts last week and excellent demand this week. No comparison over 700 lbs. but a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows 8.00-10.00 higher. No comparison on bulls due to very limited receipts last week but a higher undertone noted but quality and condition very attractive this week. Trade active, demand good to very good.
