Compared to last week: Steer calves under 500 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Heifer calves under 500 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher, over 500 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for steer and heifer calves this week yet there was some pressure on the market primarily due to the difference in flesh condition versus last week. This week featured many weaned calves, the flesh condition on these cattle was much heavier than has been seen in recent week and buyers are reluctant to give as much for a fleshy calf as they had to give for a good green one last week. The cash fed cattle market softened this week, many at 156.00 but still there exists a great amount of optimism for the coming months.
