Compared to last week, steer calves under 400 lbs not well tested; 400-550 lb steers sold 4.00-6.00 higher; 550-600 lbs 13.00-14.00 higher. Heifer calves mostly sharply higher, for the exception of 550-600 lb heifers were 5.00-6.00 lower. Feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher, with 600-650 lbs 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 600-650 lbs sold sharply higher and 700-750 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower. Trade was active, demand good on lighter numbers due to the high winds. Excellent buyer attendance.
