Compared to two weeks ago, which was a wean/vac special, feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00-8.00 higher. Steer calves under 700 lbs. sold 12.00-18.00 higher. Heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold 6.00-12.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Seven weight steers topped the 300.00/cwt. mark with ten head weighing 708 lbs. bringing 301.00/cwt. This was the first regular Tuesday feeder sale of 2025 with last week being cancelled due to road conditions. The 5 Area Weighted Average for negotiated fat cattle set a record high last week closing at 202.50/cwt., 3.57 higher than the record set the previous week.
