Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 650 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher with instances of 8.00 higher on the 650-700 lbs. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher except 450-550 8.00 to 10.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of very attractive cattle was good to very good, the market was very active today. Flesh conditions were light to moderate today. Slaughter cows too light tested, mostly steady under tones noted.
