There have not been the numbers in specific weights of steers and heifers for a good comparison again this week. Steers traded mixed from last week and heifers trended lower this week. Some nice strings and loads of yearlings in todays offering. More spring calves in todays offering but buyers are hesitant to push the market on these unweaned calves at this time. Yearlings coming off the grass are in medium to medium plus flesh condition and are appealing to the buyers. Expecting a larger run of spring calves next week.
