Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on few comparable sales, 600-800 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 higher, spots 20.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold with a higher undertone on limited comparisons. Heifer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold with a higher undertone, 450-600 lbs traded 5.00-15.00 higher and over 600 lbs sold with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply, with a lot of the calves selling in small packages and groups. Large gains in the CME Feeder Cattle contracts on Friday with the front four months sharply higher from 6.37 to 8.07. Slaughter cattle sold mostly steady with a nice offering of slaughter cows selling firm to 6.00 higher.
