Today's receipts consisted of many big strings of feeder calves off the cow with a few strings of weaned calves. Compared to the sale two weeks ago feeder steers traded lower with 450 to 500 lbs. 9.00 lower; 500 to 600 lbs. 3.00 to 5.00 lower; 600 to 650 lbs. 3.00 lower and 650 to 800 lbs. 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 were steady and 600 to 700 lbs. were 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Calves with shots are still bringing a premium from the buyers. Very good demand for today's offering . More farm buyers showing up to to buy this week after the big storm last week.
