Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 lower however, 800 lb yearling cattle were 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifer trade saw the 500 - 600 lb calves 4.00 - 10.00 higher with the 700 - 800 lb yearlings 6.00 - 8.00 higher. Available today were load lots of quality, green, home raised, yearling cattle coming off grass. Demand for today's moderate supply was good. A good mix of weight groups were offered today.
