As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 650 to 700 lbs. were steady and 700 to 750 lbs. were 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 700 to 800 lbs. were steady to 5.00 lower. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for comparison Good buyer demand for todays offering especially the lighter weight feeders to go on pasture. Several nice strings of replacement heifers in todays offering. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition today.
