Preconditioned Feeder Cattle Sale. Compared to last week, steers weighing less than 800 lbs sold 9.00 to 11.00 higher, while those more than 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifers overall sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Buyer demand was good for a heavy sale supply of fully preconditioned, long time weaned steers and heifers.
