Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs sold sharply higher and steer calves 550-650 lbs sold sharply lower. Heifer calves under 650 lbs sold steady to 9.00 lower. Not enough yearlings on offer to establish a trend. A shorter than expected consignments sheet due to storms within the trade area over the last couple days. Nearly all the calves had received preconditioning shots. Demand was moderate to very good from the buyers in the crowd.
