Compared to last week, steer calves under 700 lbs and heifer calves under 600 lbs overall were lightly tested with several groups of 500-550 lb steers selling 5.00-7.00 lower and several groups of 550-600 lb heifers trading steady to 5.00 lower all other weights of calves were not well tested as numbers and overall quality of calves were not as deep as last week's offering. Pot load of steers weighing 791 lbs sold with a firm undertone, two pot loads and a part load of 865-900 lb steers sold firm to 2.00 higher. Two pot loads of 609-626 lb heifers sold with a firm undertone with a pot load of 744 lb heifers selling 2.00 lower than last week's two pot loads of similar weight.
