Yearling steers traded steady to weak on a limited test on weights to last week. Heifer calves traded unevenly steady with instances 3.00 lower with the exception of nice replacement heifers which traded higher with a long string of reputation heifers on display. Yearling heifers traded 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a large selection of lighter weight yearling heifers. Nice offering of all classes of feeder cattle with moderate bidding throughout.
