*CLOSE* No recent Value Added sale for a price comparison. Comparable sales to Monday's regular feeder cattle sale, steers under 600 lbs were steady to weak, while steers over 600 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher., with the largest advance in the 600-750 lb steers. Heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher, with the exception of 500-600 lbs heifers selling 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand good, supply heavy. The bulk of the calves in medium plus to fleshy condition with a few thin flesh calves in the mix. Calves are weaned 45 days or more, on a vaccination program and heifers are guaranteed open..
