Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers up to 1000 lbs. were much higher, steers 1000-1100 lbs. were 8.00-15.00 higher. Heifers 750-950 lbs. were 8.00-15.00 higher. Flesh on feeders was determining factor on prices today. Demand was very good, many large load lots in todays offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be July 20th, expecting 4000 head of feeders, starting at 8:30 am.
