Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 600 lbs. sold mostly 11.00-15.00 lower, those steers over 600 lbs. were also mostly 11.00-15.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. were 5.00-8.00 lower and those over 600 lbs. were 5.00-12.00 lower. Demand was moderate for the moderate offerings. Trade was active.
