Compared to last week, light weight steer calves under 450 lbs traded with a sharply higher undertone on a light test, with 450-550 lbs steers and 400-600 lb heifers trading 10.00-20.00 higher, with 550-600 lb steers trading steady, 600-650 lb steers sold 10.00-15.00 higher and several part loads of 700-770 lb steers selling 3.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers weighing 600-660 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher with a part load weighing 726 lbs trading steady. Demand was very good on the steer and heifer calves weighing 400-650 lbs with a moderate supply. Overall quality was very good on the calves with the bulk long timed weaned and with two rounds of shots all sold on a very active market. Slaughter cows sold steady with spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
