Compared to the feeder calf auction one week ago (April 24) 400 -500 lb steer calves today were steady with a lower undertone, 600 - 700 lb steers were 4.00 to 6.00 higher. No test on yearling weight cattle. Heifer trade today saw a weak undertone ( 6.00 to 8.00 ) across all weight classes. Supply today was moderate and included a few load lots. Available today were quality, home-raised and double vaccinated feeder calves. Demand was very good for quality calves. Internet activity was strong.
