Compared to last Wednesday: Steer calves over 500 lbs sold steady to 3 higher, traditional weight heifer calves sold steady on a light test. Market activity was slow for this annual Wednesday sale, with supply lower, compared to the regular Friday sale. Demand was moderate, with many of the regular order buyers missing.
