Compared to last week's light run, feeder steers and heifers were 15.00-20.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The largest draft of the day was 20 head of 758 lb. steers which sold for 356.00/cwt. Following several weeks of lower prices, weaned and vaccinated calves made some positive gains. Receipts continue to be less than normal due to lower cash prices with heat and humidity being less of a contributing factor this week.
