Compared to last week: Few comparable weight ranges on feeder steers with the best comparison being the 750-800 lb range bringing 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 950-1050 lbs sold 2.00-4.00 lower with the majority of the heifer offering being lightweight calves. Steer calves 400-550 lbs 11.00-16.00 higher, gaining back what they lost last week. Heifer calves had limited volume from last week to compare to with a lower undertone noted. Good demand on the larger loads of yearlings coming off of grass and the lots and loads of spring calves with multiple rounds of shots. Bidding started off slow and trading to even money from last week to really picking up as the auction progressed.
