Compared to last week, steer calves under 700 lbs. sold 4.00-8.00 lower and same weight heifers sold 2.00-5.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Health concerns were a bigger issue with calves than the volatility of the futures market. Wide temperature swings have buyers willing to pay top prices for long-time weaned and vaccinated calves, with those that aren't being sharply discounted.
