Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 700 lbs. were mostly 2.00-5.00 lower; 700-850 lbs. 1.00 higher to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves under 650 lbs. mostly 2.00-5.00 lower, 650-700 lbs. 2.00 higher. The heifers over 700 lbs. did not have enough numbers both weeks to compare. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trade was active.
