Compared to the last auction three week ago feeder steers 550 to 650 lbs. were 1.00 to 5.00 higher. 650 to 800 lbs. were steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 600 lbs. were 1.00 to 3.00 lower and 600 to 700 lbs. were 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Other weights not well tested from last sale. Very good demand for todays offering. More long time weaned calves in todays sale and are desired by buyers. Most calves are coming in heavier this time of year due to the nice weather conditions this fall. Most calves were in moderate flesh condition.
