Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 650 lbs. were steady to 4.00 higher this week and 650 to 700 lbs. were 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. were 4.00 higher and 500 to 650 lbs. were steady to 6.00 higher. Some very nice strings of quality calves this week with more weaned calves and rounds of shots. Buyer demand much better this week and they bid to fill their orders. New buyers in attendance to day. Flesh condition varied in todays offering. This is the last sale of the 2023 year for feeders. Next feeder sale will be on Wednesday January 3, 2024.
