Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested, the best test was on steers weighing 550-700 lbs trading steady to firm, with 700-750 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone and over 850 lbs were not tested. Heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs on a light test sold with a weak to lower undertone with all other weights trading on limited comparisons with last week. Several groups and consignments of calves that were short weaned (30 days or less). Demand was moderate to good, best on the 550-750 lb steers. The stick out sale of the day was 84 hd of thin fleshed 632 lb steers selling at 451.00. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-5.00 lower with the bulk average and low dressing cows.
