Compared to two weeks ago steer calves under 550 lbs. sold sharply higher; 550-750 lbs. were 2.00-6.00 higher; over 750 lbs. mostly steady to 4.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. were also sharply higher; over 600 lbs. mostly steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for the heavy offerings. Several load lots and large groups were in the offerings. Trade was active.
