Compared to last week, steer calves under 750 traded mostly steady with spots 4.00 higher while heavier weight steers traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a very heavy supply. Traditionally 11,000-14,000 feeders are sold the first two weeks of the new year at ORS, however they are normally spread out over 3 sales. This year, because of the way the New Years Day fell, the receipts have been spread out over only two sales resulting in very high volume sales.
