Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded 2.00-5.00 higher while heavier weights, including yearlings, traded 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. traded 10.00-13.00 higher while heavier weights traded 6.00-9.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. The quality of the offering was above average with several pot-load drafts of turnout calves and yearlings in the offering.
