Compared to the Feeder Cattle Auction 2 weeks ago, no trend stated today on steer calves due to light offerings both weeks, however, heifer trade today was 14.00 to 20.00 higher on 700 - 800 lb calves. Available today were many load lots of reputation, green. double vaccinated heifer cattle. Demand was very good for today's moderate offering. Trade very active. The next auction will be in 2 weeks featuring a large run of feeder calves for their Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ sale.
