Compared to last week: Stocker steers under 450 lbs steady to 2.00 lower 450-600 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher and 600-700 lbs 2.00 lower. Stocker heifers under 650 lbs mostly steady to 6.00 lower except the better 450-500 lbs 4.00 higher. The offering included mostly good quality groups of black calves. Not enough cows and bulls reported last week for a trend. Light run today due to rain and muddy conditions in the area.
