Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 600 lbs. sold 6.00-7.00 higher, steers over 600 lbs. were mostly 2.00-7.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. were mostly 6.00-9.00 higher while those over 600 lbs. sold steady to 6.00 higher. Demand was good for the moderate to heavy offerings. Supply included several lot loads. Trade was active.
