Compared to the last tested feeder sale from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady, except for some packages of six weight steers and five weight heifers that sold 2.00-4.00 higher. The last couple of months have seen a nice uptrend to the calf and feeder market that producers hope to see continue into the new year, ( those on the selling end anyway ). So far no winter weather or muddy lots to deal with as conditions have been warm and dry. Demand was good and supply moderate.
