Compared to last week: Feeder steers and bulls under 450 lbs mostly 6.00-12.00 lower over 450 lbs 2.00-3.00 lower except the better 550-600 lb steers 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower over 450 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Quality and condition of feeders not as good as last week with more unweaned calves in the offering.
