The only weights of feeders for comparison from the last sale two weeks ago were steers 800 to 950 lbs, that were 14.00 to 18.00 lower this week Other weights of steers and heifers did not have the numbers for comparison this week. Today's sale consisted of mostly yearlings in the offering with many nice load lots of steers and heifers coming of grass. Today saw the first spring calves in the offering with a couple of lots. Good demand for today's offering, Feeders were in light to moderate flash condition.
