Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 650 lbs and heifer calves under 600 lbs traded with a steady to firm undertone on a light test with the exception on 450-500 lb heifers selling mostly 5.00 higher, most of the calves sold in small packages and groups. The highlight of the auction was the six pot loads of yearling heifers with a near pot load of 722 lb heifers selling 6.00 higher than a pot load of similar weight from two weeks ago, five pot loads weighing 857-1115 lbs all sold with a firm to higher undertone. Stick out sales included 2 pot loads of Large Frame heifers weighing 1115 lbs at 214.00 and a pot load weighing 857 lbs at 231.00 . Nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers (122 head) sold 2.00 higher with slaughter cows trading steady.
