As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 1.00 to 5.00 lower, except 600 lbs - 700 lbs, 850 lbs - 950 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 1.00 to 4.00 higher, except 600 lbs -650 lbs, 700 lbs - 750 lbs, 800 lbs to 900 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Demand for this very large attractive offering was good to very good. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand, which creates wide price gaps. Vaccination programs, time weaned and flesh condition are all contributing factors in the demand for these eye appealing cattle as well. Flesh conditions ranged from grass fed to heavily backgrounded. Yearling cattle being harder to find this time of year were in high demand. Wintery mix happening today and forecasted for Wednesday some buyers were a little concerned.
