As filed

Compared to last week feeder steer and heifers traded mixed. Feeder steers below 700 lbs. had instances of 5.00 lower and steers above 700 traded steady from last week. Feeder heifers below 700 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower and heifers above 700 lbs. were steady to 3.00 higher. Most feeders are coming in on the higher weights with fewer light weight feeders suitable for pasture in the spring. Buyers actively bidding on today's offering.
