Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves below 500 sold unevenly steady with light demand for fleshy unweaned calves. Calves weighing over 600 pounds that were weaned sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher with moderate demand. Yearling steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher with good demand. This weeks yearling offering consisted of many high quality fancy yearlings. Slaughter cows and bulls fully steady.
