Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. mostly 10.00-16.00 higher, instances 28.00 higher on 300-350 lbs.. No accurate comparison over 600 lbs. but a lower undertone noted except a few 700-750 lbs. 8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 450 lbs. 6.00-12.00 higher, over 450 lbs. 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower. Trade active, demand good.
