Feeder steers under 550 lbs steady with instances 10.00-20.00 higher, 550 under most pressure with steady to 3.00 lower, steers over 600 lbs steady instances 18.00-21.00 higher. Heifers calves under 550 lbs 3.00-7.00 higher instances 10.00-17.00, calves over 550 lbs replacement quality 15.00-35.00 higher.
