Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers under 650 lbs sold 3.00 to 12.00 higher and yearling cattle 650 lbs up selling 2.00 to 5.00 higher. On the video side, A nice string of 84 steers with a base weight of 600lbs selling @401.00. There was a good supply today of better attractive weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings over last week's run. Demand was good to very good, as the seats were filled for customer appreciation day! Slaughter cattle sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower.
