Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 650 lbs. sold 6.00-8.00 higher while the heavier steers were 3.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. were 4.00-7.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for the heavy offerings. Several load lots were included in the offerings. Trade was active.
