Compared to two weeks ago much lighter offering, steers calves under 550 lbs were not well tested, with a much lighter offering of steer calves and yearlings weighing from 550-800 lbs selling with a weak to lower undertone, with 6 pot loads of 850-983 lb steers also trading with a lower undertone. Feeder heifers had the best test on 550-600 lbs trading steady to firm, spots 5.00 higher with the 600-650 lb heifers selling 6.00-8.00 lower all other weights of heifers were lightly tested. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Overall a nice quality offering of calves and yearlings with the largest draft 116 head of 983 lb steers selling at 227.00, four pot loads of yearling steers weighing 850-890 lbs sold from 232.75-235.75, pot load of 613 lb heifers sold at 263.25 and a pot load heifers weighing 668 lbs at 253.00.
