Compared to the feeder calf auction just one week ago, 500 - 600 lb feeder steers were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and 600 - 700 lb calves were mostly steady to 8.00 lower. Load lots of yearling steers sold 1.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifer feeder calf trade saw all weight classes mostly steady with a slight lower undertone. Today's moderate supply consisted of home raised, LTW'd and double vaccinated quality feeder calves. Several large groups of quality, reputation replacement heifers returned to the country. Demand was very good.
