Compared two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded on a higher undertone. Demand was good to moderate on today's offering of feeder steers and heifers. Feeders where in light to moderate flesh with many grass type feeders in the offering. Next sale is scheduled for April 15, 2021, expecting 2500 hd.
