Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher, with instances 25.00 higher on the 4 weight steers and 550-600 lb steers, 600-750 lb steers sold 3.00-10.00 higher and over 750 lbs were not tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold 20.00-30.00 higher, with 500-600 lbs trading 10.00-20.00 higher and 600-650 lbs 8.00-10.00 higher, 650-700 lbs sold steady to firm. Despite some adverse weather conditions with freezing rain and slick roads Monday's market found some new highs to start the year as demand was very good on a nice offering of excellent quality long timed weaned calves with shots weighing 400-600 lbs and a good quality offering of 700-750 lb steers all sold on a very active market. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-7.00 higher.
