Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 400 - 500 lb steer calves were 5.00 to 15.00 higher with 700 - 800 lb steer cattle steady to 6.00 higher. Today's heifer trade saw 400 - 500 lb calves 5.00 to 11.00 higher. Eight weight yearling heifers were mostly 10.00 higher. Today's offering of quality new crop, home raised, green calves were mostly "off the cow". Available today were load lots of reputation yearling cattle. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply. Trade was active.
