Compared to the feeder calf auction just one week ago, steer calves were mostly steady however with a lower undertone with the exception of 700 - 750 lb cattle as much as 15.00 higher. Today's heifer trade saw the market mostly steady also with a lower undertone. Replacement quality heifers were available to in today's offering. Internet bidding was very active. Supply was light. Demand was good. The next scheduled feeder calf special is Feb. 26.
