Compared to the last auction from three weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs 30.00-40.00 higher, 600-700 lbs 10.00-20.00 higher, and too few steers over 700 lbs for a good test. Feeder heifers 10.00-20.00 higher. Mostly calves in the offering with Incredibly nice weather allowing for good cattle movement. Prices were sharply higher across the board with the best demand on steer calves, which are dollaring-up to some fantastic prices per head. Demand was very good on a moderate supply.
