Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers traded steady to 3.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded 3.00-7.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Spring like temperatures has gotten the grass to turn green and spring flowers to bloom. Additional buyers ringside kept the market active with several attractive packages of stocker calves in the offering.
