Today's receipts consisted of a few yearlings and many smaller strings of spring calves off the cow. Compared to last week feeder steers traded steady to lower this week with 500 to 550 lbs. 5.00 lower, 600 to 650 lbs were steady and 650 to 750 lbs. were 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 650 lbs. traded steady compared to last week. Good demand for today's offering.
