Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mostly 3.00-5.00 higher with the better 450-500 lbs 12.00 higher. Not enough over 600 lbs last week for a trend however the bidding was active on the weaned cattle. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs mixed with the better kind 2.00-6.00 higher and the plainer kind steady to 3.00 lower and the better 600-650 lbs 8.00 higher not enough over 650 lbs last week for a trend . Special weaned calf sale today so most of the offering was weaned with a few groups being value added. Cows and bulls not reported due to time.
