Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 400 - 500 lb new crop feeder steers were 12.00 to 16.00 higher, 600 - 700 lb calves were as much as 20.00 higher. Heifer trade saw 400 - 500 lb calves 9.00 to 12.00 higher and 600 - 700 heifers were 15.00 to 18.00 higher. The bulk of today's feeder calves were all weaned and double vaccinated. Available today were load lots of green, off the grass yearling cattle which were steady to up 5.00. Demand was very good for today's heavy offering home raised feeder calves.
