Compared to two weeks ago:  fewer steers this week, with the best comparable 
weights 550-600lbs, 10.00 higher; 650-700 unevenly steady.  Heifers 500-550, 
15.00 higher; 550-600lbs, 15.00 lower on a light test; 600-650lbs, 7.00 higher; 
700lbs and up, 18.00 higher, with some fancy bred ones selling over 20.00 
higher.  Demand was good for today's offering of mostly weaned and fully 
vaccinated calves.  Most of the heifers came in with bangs vaccinations, and 
many of them were likely headed back to a breeding program.  Market was very 
good for the larger packages and load lots offered.  Flesh condition was mostly 
light to medium.  Warm weather continues, with producers wondering when the 
moisture is coming.  However, we are seeing calves on the ground in the area 
and the sunshine makes for easy calving.
