Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly 1.00-6.00 lower except the better 300-350 lbs 4.00 higher and 600-650 lbs 9.00 higher. Feeder heifers mixed with the better 300-350 lbs and 550-650 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Quality of most cattle not as good as last week with more unweaned calves in the offering. Some of the long weaned calves and Value Added cattle sold at a premium. Cows and bulls not reported due to time limits.
