Compared to last week, a light test of 4 weight steer calves sold with a firm to higher undertone, 500-600 lbs steers sold 7.00-10.00 higher with spots 12.00 higher on the 550-600 lb steers, 600-650 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 higher and over 650 lbs sold steady. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold 2.00-4.00 higher with 500-600 lbs trading 3.00-7.00 higher, pot load of heifers weighing 695 lbs sold with a lower undertone than last weeks pot load and a pot load weighing 765 lbs sold with a steady to firm undertone with few comparisons. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good with supply moderate. Calf market was much improved this week with many good quality weaned calves and much improved warmer weather after last week's winter storm hit the trade area as several buyers were out of the market, but back in this week on a very active calf market.
