Compared to last week; steer calves under 550 lbs traded 6.00 to 8.00 lower. 550 lbs to 650 lbs traded unevenly steady. Steers over 650 lbs also trading 3.00 to 5.00 lower on a limited test. Heifer calves traded 5.00 to 7.00 lower with a few instances of 11.00 lower. Nice offering of cattle on display.
