Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 400 lb steer calves were fully steady, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 7.00- 9.00 higher and 700 lb yearlings were fully steady. Heifer trade today was sharply higher with 500 - 600 lb heifers 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Today's supply was moderate to heavy. Load lots of quality yearlings and long time weaned fall feeder calves were available. Demand was very good.
