Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00-3.00 higher. Steer calves unevenly steady with lighter weights 2.00-3.00 higher . Feeder heifers and heifer calves steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle but remains very good for grass cattle. Quality average to attractive as we continue to see large drafts of cattle off wheat or winter pasture.
