Compared to last week: Feeder Steers under 450 lbs were steady on a light test; 450 - 500 lbs, 5.00 to 8.00 lower; 500 - 550 lbs, steady; 550 - 600 lbs, 4.00 higher; 600 - 650 lbs, steady; over 650, trending lower on a light test. Heifer Calves under 450 lbs were trending lower, on a light test; 450 - 500 lbs, 4.00 lower; 500 and up, steady to 2.00 higher. There was good demand for this nice offering of calves, selling on an active market. Supply was mixed, with both weaned and calves right off the cow, with most carrying at least spring shots.
