Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 4.00-8.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. were 5.00-10.00 higher except for three weights which were 15.00-25.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The largest drafts of the day were 58 head of 821 lb. steers that brought 249.25/cwt. and 58 head of 796 lb. steers that brought 250.00/cwt. Discounts continue to grow on short- weaned or unweaned and non-vaccinated calves.
