Compared to last week most weights of steers and heifers were higher this week. Feeder steers sold with steady to higher undertones compared to last week's much lighter offering. The only weight of heifers for comparison were the 500 to 550 lbs. that were 11.00 higher. Many nice strings of quality calves in todays offering. A few load lots as well. Buyer demand was very good for the offering especially the light weight steers and heifers to go on grass next spring. The black hided calves with shots and weaned brought a premium from the buyers today. Most calves were in light to moderate flesh condition.
