Feeder heifers under 700 lbs. $1-$3 lower; over 700 lbs. steady to $2 higher. Weaned steer and heifer calves lightly tested and few sold steady. Demand moderate to good. Numbers some lighter today as wheat planting has begun in Southern parts of the state. Others continue to work ground after recent rains. Still not into the calf run, though un-weaned calves are in supply and these continue to sell at sharp discounts from their weaned mates. Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (58% Steers, 41% Heifers, 1% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs. was 65%.
