Compared to last week's smaller sale: Steers 400--600lbs, 10.00-15.00 higher; 600-700lbs, sharply higher on a light test. Heifers 350-450, 8.00-10.00 lower; 450-550lbs, steady to 2.00 lower, with the exception of some fancy replacements; 550-600lbs, sharply higher. Very good demand for today's offering of mostly light to moderate fleshed calves, with most carrying spring and fall shots. Lots of long strings and full loads offered, along with several large lots of replacement type heifers, all home raised, sold on a very active market with lots of buyers in the seats and on the internet. The next feeder calf special is October 16.
