Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves and heifers weighing 500-600 lbs sold mostly 7.00-12.00 higher, with steers weighing 600-800 lbs selling 3.00-7.00 higher with instances 10.00 higher, yearling steers over 800 lbs were not well tested but sold with a firm undertone on kind and quality. Feeder heifers weighing over 600 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on a light test with two weeks ago. Slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 higher with last week. Very good demand this week and overall extremely good quality offering of many home raised calves and yearlings weighing 500-800 lbs. CME cattle futures on Friday ended the week on a high note with strong triple digit gains hopefully finding a bottom into the recent downtrend.
