Compared to the feeder calf auction one week ago, a weather related light offering experience today. 600 - 700 lb feeder steer calves were fully steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer trade saw 500 - 600 lb calves 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Today's supply saw several large groups of "home - raised", reputation and LTW's quality feeder calves. Demand was very good. Trade was active.
