Compared to Saturday: steer calves 450 to 750 lbs steady to 2.00 lower except 500 to 550 lbs not well compared. Heifer calves 450 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher except 500 to 550 lbs mostly steady. Lower undertones noted on yearling steers compared to last Wednesday. Good demand for today's large yearling offering which included one long string of attractive steers as well as many loads and packages of average to attractive steers and heifers. Slightly more flesh on the yearlings than last week. Good demand for today's calf offering of mostly packages with just a a handful of loads. Quality similar to Saturday with many attractive quality calves to choose from. A few weaned packages, but the majority of today's calves were off the cow. Flesh varied, but mostly moderate to moderate plus. The weather has turned very cold this week. There is still some corn out in the fields which producers are trying to harvest.
