Compared to last week, a light offering of steer and heifer calves weighing under 600 lbs sold with a steady to firm undertone on comparable sales and weights, with 600-700 lb steers trading firm to 5.00 higher and a pot load of 863 lb steers selling 3.00 higher last week's pot loads of similar weight and quality. Feeder heifers weighing over 600 lbs on a light test sold steady to firm. Demand was good on a light to moderate offering with calves selling mostly in small packages and groups with three pot loads of yearling steers and several part loads. Stick out sales included pot load of 863 lb steers at 365.00, pot load steers weighing 638 lbs ay 425.50, 45 hd steers weighing 633 lbs 438.00, 42 heifers weighing 623 lbs at 390.50, 43 heifers weighing 665 lbs at 380.00.
