Compared to two weeks ago: Most comparable Feeder Steer weights were trending sharply higher. Heifers 600 - 650 lbs were mostly steady; 650 - 700 lbs 10.00 higher. Demand was very good, especially for several packages of quality replacement heifers with buyers in the seats and on the internet. Most of the offering was home raised and fully vaccinated, with light to medium flesh, and ready for grass. Recent rains in the area have brought some optimism for buyers looking forward to moving cattle to summer pastures and haying season.
