Compared to last week feeder steers 650 to 700 lbs. were 7.00 higher, 700 to 850 lbs. were 4.00 to 7.00 higher and 850 to 900 lbs. were 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 550 to 600 lbs. were 4.00 higher and 850 to 900 lbs. were 12.00 higher. Good demand for todays offering which consisted of several load lot of steers and heifers. Also many small strings of feeders. It appears that the lots are being cleaned out and the last few feeders there are coming to market to make room for new calves being born. The market was higher today but did not deter buyers from bidding aggressively to fill orders. most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
