Compared to the feeder calf auction one week ago, 400 - 500 lb new crop feeder steers were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with 600 - 700 lbs calves 6.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifer trade saw 500 - 600 lb new crop calves as much as 13.00 higher. Load lots of green yearling cattle were 7.00 to 9.00 higher. Today's offering of home raised, green, double vaccinated calves were mostly weaned a minimum of 45 days. Demand was very good for today's moderate offering. Trade was active.
