Compared to last week; Not all weights well tested for comparison. Feeder steers 450-500lbs 13.00 to 17.00 higher, 550-650lbs and 800-850lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 550-650lbs steady to 2.00 lower with instances up to 8.00 lower. Light sale due to frigid temperatures. Good buyer demand. Flesh condition light to moderate.
