Compared to last week: Feeder steers 600-850 lbs. were steady to 3.00 lower, steers 850-950 lbs. were 2.00-4.00 lower. Heifers 600-700 lbs. were steady to 3.00 lower, heifers 700-900 lbs. were steady to 3.00 higher . The amount of flesh on the feeder calves was a big factor on the prices payed. Demand was good, with many load lots in todays offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be March 4th, expecting 5000 head of feeders., starting at 8:30 am.
