Compared to last week light feeder steers weighing 750 to 900 lbs sold 7.00 to 8.00 higher and heavy feeders 900 to 1000 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. The 600 to 750 lb heifers sold 6.00 to 7.00 higher. These are still cattle coming in "off grass" for the most part. We did get a little rain last week and have some rain in the forecast for next week. The supply was moderate and the demand was good.
