Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on a light test, with 450-500 lbs trading 15.00-20.00 higher, 500-700 lbs sold sold mostly 7.00-15.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on few comparisons. Heifer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold steady to firm on a light test, with 450-550 lb heifer calves trading 5.00-10.00 higher, spots 15.00 higher, 550-650 lbs sold fully steady to firm over 650 lbs were lightly tested. Market continues in it's upward trend as calves and yearlings are readily absorb on a very active and competitive market. Demand remains very good on all weights of steers and heifers as cattle feeders remain very bullish to own feeders. Stick out sales included 71 steers weighing 601 lbs at 458.00 and 62 steers weighing 821 lbs at 362.75. There was a nice offering of near 90 head of slaughter steers and heifers with slaughter cows selling steady to 3.00 lower.
