Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers mostly steady to 3.00 higher except the 400-500 lbs 3.00-12.00 lower on a very light test in most classes. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower over 400 lbs mostly steady to 1.00 higher on a light test. No trend on cows and bulls not reported two weeks ago however the cows and bulls were active and strong on the limited supply.
