Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold 15.00-20.00 higher with 600-700 lbs selling 10.00-15.00 higher over 700 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs traded 15.00-20.00 higher with over 650 lbs selling with a higher undertone on limited comparisons from the last sale. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 3.00-5.00 higher on a nice offering with slaughter cows trading steady with two weeks ago.
