Compared to last week: steer calves 450 to 500 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 501 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Yearling steers 900 to 950 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 951 to 1000 lbs steady to 3.00 lower with instances 10.00 lower on both weight classes. Heifer calves 450 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Yearling heifers 800 to 850 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Good demand for strings , loads, and a few packages that made up today's yearling offering with very good demand seen for a few loads of heifers off grass. Slightly more flesh on the yearlings this week, especially steers as most of these came out of feed yards. Moderate to good demand for many packages and a hand full of loads of spring calves offered today. Quality mostly average to attractive with slightly more flesh on the calves than last week, from light to moderate plus at times. Similar to last week, most of the calves had all their shots, or at least a full round of fall shots. A few packages with just 7 way were discounted. An active market for today's offering with order buyers and some farmer feeders attending the sale again today. Many producers are still working on corn harvest. Warmer weather is predicted for this week.
