Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were good. Steer calves under 650 lbs traded 1.00 to 7.00 higher, while steers over 650 lbs traded uneven 1.00 higher to 5.50 lower. Heifer calves under 700 lbs traded 2.00 to 7.00 lower on a light test, while those over 700 lbs had no comparison. This week's run consisted of bred heifers and cows, which had a firm undertone, and a light run of mostly weaned calves. No slaughter cows were available due to inclement weather. This will be the last sale of 2022. The next available report will be published when receipts warrant.
