Trade activity and demand was good. Weaned preconditioned calf numbers grew substantially compared to last week. Weaned feeder steers traded mostly 2.00 to 7.00 higher, while non-weaned steers traded steady to 1.00 higher. Weaned feeder heifers traded mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher, while non-weaned heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Next available report will be when receipts warrant.
