Compared to two weeks ago: Trade activity and demand good. Most of today's offerings were long-weaned, preconditioned steers and heifers with 2-3 rounds of shots. Feeder steers 450-750 lbs sold mostly 17.00 to 21.00 higher, and steers over 750 lbs sold 7.00 to 9.00 higher. Feeder heifers 400-650 lbs sold 12.00 to 19.00 higher with instances of 26.00 higher, and heifers over 650 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher. The next available report will be as receipts warrant coverage.
