Compared to two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves traded 5.00-10.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher. Yearlings traded 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. The quality of the offering was above average with several large drafts of pre-conditioned calves from reputation herds in the offering. Been quite awhile since 6-weigh steers sold in the 2.00 range but a package of 43 head weighing 642 lbs. brought 201.00 today.
