Compared to two weeks ago, not enough comparable offerings of feeders to establish a trend although a lower undertone was noted. Around 1000 head of spring calves also sold in the mix with the calves not having preconditioning shots selling at a discount. Demand ranged from moderate to very good throughout the auction.
