Last reported sales was three weeks ago making market comparisons difficult, however load lots sold steady to firm on both steers and heifers; packages of both steers and heifers sold with lower undertones. Market was active today with very good demand for long weaned spring and summer calves and moderate demand for short weaned and unweaned late summer and fall calves. Several load lots were seen with good to very good demand for load lot offerings. Supply was light to moderate.
