Compared to last week: Steer calves under 700 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher, instances to 15.00 to 20.00 higher on 500-550 lbs, over 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher, instances to 10.00 higher on 450-500 lbs. Yearling feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, yearling heifers not well compared. Very good demand for this large offering of steer and heifer calves, many buyers on the seats actively bidding, determined to get cattle bought. Quality varied, but it didn't matter as there were plenty of buyers for all kinds and flesh conditions, all calves sold easily. Very good demand for this large offering of yearlings, including 1 long string of 1,100 steers that were in a moderate to moderate plus flesh condition and really attractive for kind. As cash fed cattle topped at 196.00 cattle feeders paid no attention to the lower cattle futures contracts.
