Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Single-digit temperatures helped to solid up the ground enabling producers to get calves to town. The offering included several large drafts with the largest draft being 146 head of 971 lb. of mixed steers which brought 234.75/cwt.
