Compared to last sale: Feeder steers 600 and 800 pound weight classes 2.00-10.00 lower, while 700 and 900 pound weight classes 2.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher, except for 700 pound heifers 5.00 lower. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher. Demand robust. Quality and condition ranged from plain to fancy. Several drafts of replacement heifers also made their way into the barn today. Many of today's cattle are coming straight off the wheat, even if it may be a few weeks early. Warm temperatures and dry conditions forecasted for the remainder of this week. Burn bans remain in effect.
