Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold 2.00-5.00 higher, over 600 lbs. steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 3.00-5.00 lower, except those under 500 lbs. which sold steady to 4.00 higher. The supply of feeders was heavy with several load lots of heavier weight yearlings in the offering. Demand was moderate to good especially for thin fleshed pee wee calves. Conditions in the country are getting muddy as snow and ice melts following some winter weather over the last few day. The market remained strong all day despite everyone in attendance watching futures drop all day. Nearby live cattle contracts closed 2.72 to 3.00 lower, and feeders closed 4.00-4.20 lower
