Compared to last week feeder steers 450 to 500 lbs. were 6.00 higher; 500 to 600 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower and 600 to 650 lbs. were steady. Feeder heifers 400 to 450 lbs. and 500 to 550 lbs. were steady from last week. Many nice strings of spring calves in today's offering. Buyer demand was very good for today's offering especially the lighter weight calves. Most calves were in light to moderate flesh condition. Not many yearlings left in today's offering. Expecting another large sale next week.
