Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs traded with higher undertone on a light test, with not enough good comparisons on steers over 600 lbs to establish a trend. Feeder heifers traded steady to firm. The light weight calves are especially popular with the buyers right now with some of the steers reaching the 400.00/cwt mark.
