Compared to two weeks ago; Not all weights well tested for comparison. Feeder steers 500-550lbs and 600-750lbs all sharply lower. Feeder heifers 400-450lbs sharply lower, 550-600lbs and 900-950lbs 16.00 to 18.00 lower. Many full loads in today's offering. Good buyer demand. Flesh condition light to moderate.
