Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 450-500 lbs sold 2.00-7.00 higher, with 500-550 lbs selling steady to 3.00 higher, 550-650 lbs on comparable sales traded mostly steady with 650-700 lbs on a good offering trading with a higher undertone with 800-900 lb steers were not well tested but traded with a weak to lower undertone when compared to sales over the last few weeks. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold steady with 500-550 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower, 550-700 lbs traded steady to firm on the large groups and a pot load weighing 687 lbs. Offerings this week included six pot loads of steers weighing 615-890 lbs and several part loads all selling with moderate to good demand, best demand was 450-600 lb steers and heifers, as the sale progressed small drafts and feeders with less condition, carrying flesh or unweaned/short weaned brought down some of the averages and sold with light to moderate demand. Overall quality was very good on the steer and heifer calves and yearling steers. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady with the bulk average and low dressing cows.
