Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 650 lbs. sold 3.00-6.00 lower with spots 12.00 lower. Feeder steers and heifers over 650 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. A wide range of quality and condition was in the offering with an abundance of short-weaned and unworked calves. One highlight was four loads of 600-800 lb. Black and Red Angus calves from Senatobia, MS. They were long-time weaned, non-implanted with multiple shots and pasture fed. Two of the five drafts that topped the market were 57 head of 800 lb. heifers that brought 237.00/cwt. and 61 head of 870 lb. steers that brought 248.50/cwt.
