Compared to last week: Only good comparison of steer calves were those 500-550 lbs and 600-650 lbs which sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifer calves not well compared for complete comparison, under 600 lbs sold with lower undertones while 600-650 lbs heifer calves sold with higher undertones. Yearling feeder steers not well tested for comparison, heifers steady in a narrow comparison. Good demand for this light offering of steer and heifer calves, more farmer feeders on the seats this week ready to bid and buy these packages of calves. Good demand for the limited offering of yearlings. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls sold with lower undertones.
