Compared to the auction last week, both feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady. Short weaned calves were steady to weak. 600 - 700 lb steer calves weaned over 45 days were steady to firm. 500 - 600 lb heifers were 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand was good for today's light to moderate offering. Trade was active.
