Compared to last wednesdays sale feeder steers traded mixed with 500 to 650 lbs. steady to 1.00 higher; 650 to 700 lbs. were 1.00 lower and 700 to 750 lbs. were 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 450 to 550 lbs. were 2.00 to 3.00 higher and 550 to 600 lbs. were 3.00 lower. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for a comparison. Very good demand for todays offering . Flesh conditions of todays feeders were light to moderate.
