As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers were mostly steady except 700 to 800 lbs were 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 650 to 750 lbs. were 3.00 to 5.00 lower this week. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Today's offering consisted off many smaller strings of feeders in light to moderate flesh condition. Moderate to good demand for today's offering with more buyers in attendance. Demand still best for lighter weight feeders to go on grass.
