Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold 3.00-10 .00 higher on last week's lighter offering, 500-750 lb steers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing from 400-650 lb all sold with a firm to higher undertone on limited comparisons from last week. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply with several lots and groups of good quality steer and heifer calves weighing 450-650 lbs all selling with good demand on and active market. Good beneficial rains have fallen over the trade area over the last week. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm, with high dressing cows spots 3.00 higher.
