Compared to last week; steer calves under 550 lbs traded unevenly steady to 4.00 lower on comparable trades. Steer calves over 550 lbs traded traded 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Yearling steers traded steady to weak on a limited test on weights to last week. Heifer calves traded unevenly steady with instances 3.00 lower with the exception of nice replacement heifers which traded higher with a long string of reputation heifers on display. Yearling heifers traded 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a large selection of lighter weight yearling heifers. Nice offering of all classes of feeder cattle with moderate bidding throughout.
