Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. were steady to 8.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The offering was a mixed bag with smaller drafts of plainer, un-worked calves early followed by several larger high-quality drafts later in the day. Positive news on increasing demand and decreasing supplies has everyone guessing when prices with reach a peak, however the market is giving no indication that we are there yet.
