Compared to the previous Wednesday steer calves under 650 lbs. 3.00-5.00 lower, not enough offerings last week over 650 lbs. for a true test. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. with fewer offerings than last week 10.00-15.00 lower, no feeders over 550 lbs. last for a comparison. Trade active with good demand.
