Compared to last week: Steer Calves 400 - 500lbs, 35.00 - 40.00 lower; 500 - 700, 15.00 - 20.00 lower. Heifers 350 - 400lbs, 29.00 lower; 400-450lbs, 20.00 lower; 450 - 600lbs, 13.00 - 15.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested, as the numbers available have dwindled. Demand was good today for spring calves, with most selling on an active market. Vaccines and flesh condition were determining factors in prices today, as both varied. Large packages and load lots were also in demand.
