Compared to last week . Feeder steers 350-400 & 700-750 lbs 3.00 higher; 400-450 lbs 11.00 lower; 450-700 lbs 5.00- 9.00 lower. Feeder heifers 350-400 & 650-700 lbs 4.00 higher; 400-500 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower; 500-600 lbs 8.00-9.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for today's offering but buyer's were not pushing the market like they did last week. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh. Next sale is scheduled for January 6, 2022.
