Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower, except 600 lbs - 650lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 1.00 to 4.00 lower, except under 750 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Demand for this very large attractive offering was good to very good. Yearlings were in high demand along with lighter calves. Most of the eye appealing offering was hauled in overnight or very early in the morning. Cattle condition was grass fed to moderate background. Rounds of shot given along with the amount of time the calves had been weaned were big factors for buyers. The winter weather has played a big factor in how green cattle are and the amount of tag they were carrying.
