Compared to last week feeder steers 750 to 850 lbs. were 1.00 to 2.00 higher and 900 to 950 lb. steers were steady. Feeder heifers compared to last week in 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 higher. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for a comparison. Good demand for todays offering with several load lots of steers and heifers in the offering plus a fancy string of replacement quality heifers.. Numbers were down again this week due to extreme cold weather in the area. Feeders were in moderate to moderate plus flesh condition in todays offering.
