Compared to the last tested market two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher, heavier steers 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifers 5.00 to 10.00 lower except some 700-750 lb heifers steady to firm. Slaughter cows steady. Several stick out consignments were on offer this week, including a couple of multi-potload offerings from local reputation backgrounders. Overall calf quality was below average but the steer market benefitted from some extra buyers scattered throughout the seats. Supply and demand moderate.
