Compared to last week: Feeder steers mixed with under 700 lbs steady to 21.00 higher mostly 10.00-20.00 higher except the better 500-550 lbs and the plainer kind under 550 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower no trend on weights over 700 lbs last week. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs mostly 4.00-10.00 higher except the better 350-400 lbs and some plainer kind 1.00-4.00 lower. Heavy supply with several large groups of weaned yearlings and groups of good quality unweaned calves. Demand was good on the yearlings and groups of good calves. Cows and bulls not reported due to time limits.
