Compared to the auction from 2 weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers sold from steady to 10.00 higher. An even mix of both calves and yearlings with a very good demand no matter what weight entered the ring. With grass starting to come on and an attractive yearling futures price for this fall the lighter weight calves are really selling with some eye-popping prices.
