Compared to the feeder market from two weeks ago, most weights only lightly tested due to limited receipts, with calves under 550 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone and feeders over 550 trading with a sharply higher undertone. New record high prices seem to be set every week. Demand phenomenal and supply light.
