Compared to last week feeder steers traded mixed with 500 to 550 lbs. 2.00 lower and 550 to 600 lbs. were 9.00 higher. Feeder steers above 600 lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers below 650 lbs. were 3.00 to 5.00 higher. 650 to 700 lb. heifers were 8.00 higher. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Today's offering consisted of many larger drafts and many load lots of steers and heifers. Very good demand for today's offering.
