Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold noticeably lower, however there was not enough volume for a good test. 600 to 750 lb steers sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher, while feeders steers over 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifer calves sold noticeably higher, however there was not enough volume for a good test. Heifers over 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. There are a lot of unweaned calves coming to town, if the calves had good genetics and decent shots the buyers are willing to pay weaned price. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
