No comparison stated today as the previous feeder calf / yearling auction was 3 weeks ago. Available today were many load lots of quality, green and reputation yearling steers and heifers. Also, opportunities for quality replacement heifers were in today's moderate offering. Demand was very good. Trade was active.
