Compared to last week; Feeder Steers 550lbs and higher 12.00 to 16.00 lower except 600-650lbs 27.00 to 32.00 lower. Feeder Heifers 600-700lbs 15.00 to 20.00 lower. Not all weights well tested for comparison. Many strings of steers available in today's offering. Flesh condition light to moderate. Moderate buyer demand as not all buyers were present.
