Compared to last week; yearling steers and heifers traded steady with the exception of 900 lb steer which traded 4.00 higher. Steer calves under 450 lbs traded 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Steer calves 450 to 600 lbs traded steady to 2.00 lower. Steer calves over 600 lbs traded 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves under 450 lbs traded 5.00 lower with instance of 7.00 lower.
