Compared to last week on a much lighter offering, steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs. sold steady on comparable weights, with 650-700 lbs. on a lighter offering traded mostly 8.00-12.00 higher, over 700 lbs. were scarce. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs. sold steady to firm, with 500-550 lbs. traded mostly 5.00-10.00 lower with overall quality was not as attractive as last week and selling in much smaller groups, 550-600 lbs. sold steady to firm, the most advance on heifers came on the 600-650 lbs. selling 5.00-10.00, spots 12.00 higher, 650-700 lbs. sold with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering. Overall quality was not as attractive as last week's large groups of 20-50 head lots of steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs. and especially 500-550 lb. heifers. Feeder cattle futures finally posted a rally to start the week on triple digit gains with August thru November all trading 3.65-3.87 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
