Compared to last week feeder steers under 600 lbs. were 3.00 to 6.00 lower and 600 to 650 lbs. were 12.00 lower this week. Feeder heifers 450 to 600 lbs. were 4.00 to 8.00 higher this week. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Many nice strings and load lots of spring calves in todays offering. Good buyer demand for todays offering, especially if they were black and had two rounds of shots. Very few bunches of weaned calves coming to market . Most are right off the cow. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. Expecting a large sale next week again.
