Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 8.00 higher over 600 lbs 2.00 lower on a light test. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs mostly steady to 4.00 higher over 550 lbs 1.00-5.00 lower. Light run today due to hot weather in the area. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week.
