Compared to last week: Feeder Steers 300 - 350 lbs sold 6.00 higher; 350 - 400 lbs 14.00 higher; 400 - 450 lbs, 6.00 higher; and Feeder Steers over 450 lbs were mostly steady. Heifer Calves 350 - 500 lbs, 3.00 to 6.00 higher; 500 - 600 lbs, steady. This was a nice offering of spring calves, selling on an active market, despite high winds and frigid temperatures. Load lots and large packages were in high demand. The Spring Calf Sale will be Friday, Dec. 2.
