Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers 3.00 - 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 4.00 - 8.00 lower. Demand continues better for the heavier weights. . Demand light to moderate for calves. More un-weaned calves beginning to show and this looking more like a June run. Still waiting on the May wheat run to begin unless cattle sold early due to the drought or less graze out cattle due to high wheat prices. Though head count wise, we are close to the same as a year ago, however we are far from the 81 percent over 600 lbs. like last year. Quality so far average.
