Compared to 2 weeks ago at the same Special Carlot Feeder Cattle sale and bbq, stocker steers less than 600 lbs 1.00-5.00 higher, feeder steers greater than 600 lbs 1.00-5.00 lower. Stocker heifers less 600 lbs weak to 3.00 lower, feeder heifers greater than 600 lbs unevenly steady. Trade active with good demand. Buyers showed the best demand for calves which had two rounds of preconditioning shots. Buyer attendance was good.
