Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs mixed from 2.00 lower to 13.00 higher than last weeks light test mostly steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs mostly 4.00-10.00 higher than last weeks light test not enough over 600 lbs last week for a trend. The offering included several large consignments of good quality calves both weaned and unweaned. Supply was heavy with good demand. Cows and bulls not reported due to time limits.
