Compared to last week feeder steers 650 to 700 lbs. were 2.00 higher and steers above 750 lbs. were steady with instances of 3.00 lower on 800 to 850 lb. steers. Feeder heifers 600 to 700 lbs. were 1.00 higher, 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 lower and 750 to 800 lbs. were 2.00 higher. The weather improved this week and a large run of feeders came to town. Many load lots and long strings of feeders in todays offering. Very good buyer demand for todays offering. Feeders ranged from light to moderate flesh conditions today.
