Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs were not well tested, with 500-600 lbs steers trading steady to spots 10.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold firm to 15.00 higher, with 650-900 lbs selling fully steady to firm and two pot loads of 1000-1035 lb steers trading with a firm to higher undertone. Heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs on a light test sold with a lower undertone, with 500-550 lbs not reaching last week's highs as overall numbers and attractiveness didn't match up well with last week's market which was very active, gave back last week's gains trading mostly 10.00-20.00 lower, 550-600 lbs sold mostly steady with 600-650 lbs selling steady to 5.00 higher and over 650 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply with most of the feeders weighing over 600 lbs. Several stick out sales included 25 steers 604 lbs at 500.00, 72 steers 709 lbs at 418.50, 120 steers 888 lbs at 354.50, 108 steers weighing 1006-1034 lbs averaging 1019 lbs sold with a weighted average price of 331.00. Last week's Fed Cattle market ranged from 246.00-249.00. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
