Compared to last week's light test of the market. This week was the first test of bawling spring calves with a good supply on offer at different auctions. A market trend is not applicable for those lightweight steers and heifers. On the yearling steers most sold 8.00 to 15.00 higher with some weights over 850 lbs trading 20.00 higher on average. Yearling heifers sold unevenly steady. No slaughter cows and bulls on offer. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower on a very thin test of the market. Really nice runs of calves and feeders with several auctions holding customer appreciation BBQ sales. These auctions are usually very active and buyers flock to them to procure livestock. It appears that this year is the same. But there hasn't been a poor sale all year with the historical prices almost every week.
