Nice offering of cattle today. A lot of unweaned calves today. Feeder steers 700 to 900 lbs sold mostly 6.00 lower and 900 lb steers sold 1.00 lower. Heifers over 650 lbs sold mixed 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower. Some of the unweaned calves sold as high as the weaned, and others sold 10.00 back. This would be due to vaccination programs and genetics. The receipts were moderate with moderate demand.
