Compared to last week: Feeder steer calves of 450 - 500 weights were lower by 2.00, yearlings of were also lower by 2.00. The remainder of the steer weights were not well tested for a comparison. Feeder heifer calves of the 450 - 500 weights stayed steady, the balance of calf weights were also not well tested for a comparison. Heifer yearlings were lower by 2.00 with the exception of 700 - 750 weights that were higher by 5.00. Many of the calves were brought off dry land resulting a green flesh condition. The majority of calf offerings had both BT and PC shots. Prices were not discounted for those that did not have their shots. Yearlings carried a stretchy frame with moderate flesh conditions. Demand of both calves and yearlings was active with a good demand.
