Compared to the auction from last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady to firm, with few comparisons on the weights over 700 lbs. Several strings of yearling steers in the offering to go along with a nice run of long time weaned calves that continue to be in high demand. The demand was good to very good and supply moderate.
