Compared to two weeks ago, feeders sold steady 5.00 higher with several spots 10.00 higher on weaned and vaccinated steer calves. Yearling steers over 800 lbs. not tested two weeks ago but sold with sharply higher undertones. The supply was moderate and included several pot loads of yearling steers, with a highlight being 104 head of 809 lb. reputation steers that sold for 255.25. Demand ranged from moderate to very good and depended greatly upon health programs. Seats were full of heavy hitters this week and the cattle that came with a full two rounds of shots and legitimate weaning programs had multiple outlets and saw active bidding. The higher health risk calves on the other hand were discounted accordingly. Moods at the barn were much improved since the last auction as many areas have been fortunate to finally receive much need moisture providing some hope for pastures. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.
