Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. were 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The largest draft of the day was 240 head of 922 lb. steers which sold for 324.00/cwt. Much of the area saw a light frost this weekend with daytime highs in the 60's. The only thing that would make the weather better is several days of ground soaking and pond filling rains.
