Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer calves under 700 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher, spots 25.00 higher on the 450-525 lbs steers and the heavier steers sold mostly steady except for a load of grass yearlings selling with a higher undertone but with no recent similar sales to compare to. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold 20.00-25.00 higher and those over 500 lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher. Demand was good to very good except being moderate for the fleshier calves weighing 550-700 lbs. Despite large numbers of cattle currently on feed, the 2024 calf crop was historically small and there is fierce competition for the grazing type calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower than two weeks ago.
