As filed

There was a smaller offering of feeders this week compared to last week due to bad weather conditions again this week. Compared to last week feeder steers 700 to 750 lbs. were 11.00 higher and 800 to 850 lbs. were 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 650 to 700 lbs. were 6.00 lower. Other weights not well tested for a comparison this week. Good buyer demand for todays offering especially the load lots and larger strings. The futures keep showing increases and buyers have to pay to fill their orders. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
