Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mostly 4.00-10.00 lower with the better 400-500 lbs 15.00-20.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00-10.00 lower. Not enough feeders over 600 lbs for a trend. The feeder offering included mostly unweaned calves compared to several weaned calves in last weeks offering. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week.
