Compared to last week: 300 to 600 lb steer and heifer calves firm to 2.00 higher compared to last week's limited test. Steer and heifer calves and feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows mostly 2.00 lower, slaughter bulls not well tested. Trade fairly active. Demand fairly good.
