Compared to the last tested feeder sale from two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher with feeder steers over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers calves under 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher with feeder heifers over 600 lbs steady. Several reputation strings of cattle offered with buyers aggressively looking to own more cattle. Demand was good and supply moderate.
