Compared to the feeder cattle auction 2 weeks ago, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with 600 -700 lb steers steady to 3.00 lower. Heifer trade saw 400 - 500 lb calves steady to 4.00 lower with 600 - 700 lb. calves 8.00 to 11.00 higher. No comparison stated on yearling cattle given the low numbers. Quality ran extra deep on today's heavy supply of home raised, LTW'd and double vaccinated feeder calves. Available today were many groups of replacement quality heifer calves. Demand was very good. Trade was active.
