Compared to the feeder calf / yearling auction one week ago, 500 - 600 lb feeder steers were 8.00 to 10.00 lower while yearling steers were 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Heifer trade today saw 400 - 500 lb fall calves, weaned 4.00 to 14.00 higher with 600 - 700 lb heifers 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Feeder calves "off the cow" came to town today. Demand was good for today's moderate supply.
