Compared to Wednesday's sale two weeks ago feeder steers 450 to 500 lbs. were 7.00 higher and 500 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were steady and 550 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Very active market today for all weights of feeders. Very good demand for today's offering of feeders in light to moderate flesh condition.
