Compared to last week; Feeder Steers 600-650lbs 23.00 to 24.00 higher, 800lbs and higher steady to 5.00 higher except 850-900lbs up to 17.00 higher. Feeder heifers 650-750lbs 8.00-13.00 higher. Not all weights well tested for comparison. Flesh condition light to moderate. Good buyer demand for lighter weight feeders. Quality replacement heifers in today's offering.
