Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold mostly 10.00-15.00 higher, 500-600 lbs steers traded firm to 5.00 higher with 600-700 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on a much larger offering with 650-700 lbs mostly yearlings and a pot load of 968 lb steers traded near 2.00 lower than last week's pot load of black steers. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with 550-600 lbs on a light test selling steady to firm and a pot load of Fancy heifers weighing 630 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone.
