Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs and 600-650 lbs sold mostly steady to 5.00 lower with 500-600 lbs selling steady to 8.00 lower, spots 10.00 lower on the 500-550 lb steers, over 650 lbs were lightly tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-450 lbs and 500-600 lbs selling steady to 5.00 lower with 450-500 lbs trading mostly steady, over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Demand was moderate to good with supply heavy. Feeders weighing 400-600 lbs still sold on a very active market just not reaching last week's highs as overall kind, quality and condition were not as attractive as last week on the 500-600 lb steer calves with several pot loads of 600-650 lb steer calves and a near pot load of 818 lb yearling steers still sold on a very active market. Light rain fell throughout the trade area, but dry conditions still remain for the most part. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
