Compared to last week feeder steers 450 lbs. to 650 lbs. were steady to 1.00 higher ; 650 to 700 lbs. were 3.00 lower and 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450 to 600 lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and 650 to 700 lbs. were 4.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for todays offering but buyer were not pushing the market like they did last week. Good strings of feeders that were weaned and had shots were bringing a premium over those that did not have shots or weaned. Most feeders were in moderate flesh condition this week. This is the last feeder sale for the year. Next feeder sale will be January 5th.
