Compared to last week the market was higher for both steers and heifers. Feeder steers 450 to 500 lbs. were 42.00 higher, 500 ro 600 lbs. were 18.00 to 21.00 higher and 600 to 650 lbs. were 15.00 higher. There were not enough numbers of heifers last week for a good comparison this week. More feeders to sale this week from weather cancellations last week. Buyer demand was very good this week with new buyers in attendance. Most calves coming to market with one to two rounds of shots and more weaned calves showing up this week. Flesh conditions was light to moderate. Expecting more feeders next week as it will be the last sale for the month.
