Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, instances to 5.00 lower, 650-800 lbs unevenly steady, over 800 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher with instances to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good to very good demand for this large offering of attractive, weaned steers and heifers. Many long strings in the offering, many offered in full loads , along with numerous smaller consignments. The cattle were very eye appealing as they were long haired, bloomy, and clean. The very mild weather has allowed cattle to grow easily and stay clean. Flesh condition light to moderate. The market was active as there were plenty of buyers ringside actively bidding.
