Compared to last week with limited receipts feeder steers this week 600 to 650 lbs. were 10.00 higher, 700 to 750 lbs. were 6.00 higher , 750 to 800 lbs. were 6.00 lower and 800 to 850 lbs. were 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers could not be compared due the low numbers last week. Buyer demand was very good this week as buyers are trying to fill orders. There is getting to be smaller numbers of light feeders coming to market for buyers to put on grass for the summer. This if reflected in the higher prices being paid by buyers. There seems to be much optimism in the future prices for the feeders being purchased today. Most feeders were in light to moderate plus flesh condition and the gap is lessening in what is being paid for red versus black calves.
