Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold 10.00-15.00 higher, with 500-700 lbs selling 4.00-8.00 higher and 700-750 lbs trading firm to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with 500-600 lbs steady to firm, 600-700 lbs heifers were lightly tested, with 700-765 lbs trading steady to firm. Demand was good to very good on a heavy offering. The quality on steer and heifer calves and yearlings was attractive with many top quality calves in the offering selling in large groups and strings sold on a very active market. The best demand was on the top quality black steers weighing 450-650 lbs. Slaughter cows sold steady with last week.
