Compared to last week, a light test of 400-500 lb steer calves sold with a firm to higher undertone, 500-600 lb steers sold 10.00-15.00 higher, with 600-650 lb steers trading 5.00-10.00 higher, 650-700 lbs were lightly tested, with 700-750 lbs selling firm to 7.00 higher with a consignment of 755 lb steers selling with a firm undertone and two pot loads of 803-839 lb yearling steers trading 9.00-11.00 higher than last weeks pot loads of similar weights. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs and 600-700 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher with 500-600 lbs trading fully steady to firm with 8 pot loads of 702-747 lb heifers selling 2.00-10.00 higher than last weeks pot loads.
