Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, spots 7.00 higher on the 450-500 lbs, 500-700 lbs sold steady to firm with instances 10.00 higher on the 550-600 lb steers, pot loads of yearling steers weighing 750-825 lbs sold 10.00-12.00 higher on comparable weights from last week with the rest selling with a firm to higher undertone. Heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower, with 500-600 lbs trading 5.00-10.00 lower and 6 weight heifers selling steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Heifer calves under 600 lbs did not reach last weeks highs which was a very active market but numbers were a lot less and overall quality did not run as deep. Overall a good quality offering of calves and yearlings as the market remains very active. Stick out sales included 30 steers weighing 597 lbs at 420.25, pot load steers 720 lbs at 340.00, pot load 752 lbs at 345.00, 120 hd steers weighing 823 lbs at 326.60. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm on a light offering. A nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone.
