Compared to the most recent feeder cattle sale two weeks ago, steers under 700 lbs traded 7.00 to 11.00 higher and up to 15.00 higher on 500 pound steers. Steers over 700 lbs had little to compare to last sale, but sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers under 650lbs traded 8.00 to 14.00 higher with the biggest increase on 450lb heifers bringing up to 18.00 higher. Heifers over 650lbs also had little to compare to from the previous sale but sold with a higher undertone. Several high quality groups of weaned yearlings offered this week. Supply was moderate to light and demand good.
