Compared to last week: Very limited receipts on calves and feeders this week. Steer calves under 600 lbs. 5.00-7.00 lower. No accurate comparison over 600 lbs. due to very limited receipts but two loads over 800 lbs. 2.00 lower. A few heifer calves 350-450 lbs. 5.00-6.00 higher. No comparison on feeders but a lower undertone noted. No comparison on slaughter cows and bulls due to very limited receipts.
