As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 550 to 600 lbs. were 6.00 higher; 650 to 750 were steady to 5.00 higher and 800 to 850 lbs. were steady. Feeder heifers were mostly steady with several nice strings of replacement quality heifers in the offering. Todays offering consisted of mostly small lots of steers and heifers with only a couple of load lots. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. Buyer demand still good for all classes of feeders.
