Compared to last week. Feeder steers due to limited receipts per weight break the best test seen on 650-700 lbs 2.00 lower; 750-800 lbs 17.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded 4.00 -10.00 lower. Demand was moderate . The auction was slow to get going due to CME Feeder Cattle Futures down the limit. Quality was mostly attractive with many replacement heifers in the offering. Next feeder cattle sale is scheduled for March 19, 2020 expecting 1500 hd.
