Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded 1.00-2.00 lower with heavier weights steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. There were too few yearlings to adequately test the market, however undertones were steady. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. With the board trending downward for several days, the market was not as active as last week, however thin-fleshed turnout calves continue to be in high demand.
