The other feeder steer weights are just beginning to develop a market trend, as last week's numbers in some weights were low, but prices were trending higher in those weights as well. Heifers 450- 600 lbs were 15.00 higher. Other weights were also trending higher, with limited comparisons from the previous week. A large offering of both yearlings and spring calves this week, with fully vaccinated or spring vaccinated load lots and large packages. Market was good on this sale barns first big fall run calf sale, with good demand. Next week's spring calf special is on October 14th, and over 6000 calves are expected.
