Compared to last week: steers 550 to 700 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, 701 to 900 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 lower with instances up to 10.00 lower. Heifers 500 to 750 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 lower, 751 to 800 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for today's large offering of packages and loads which sold on a moderate to active market. A couple packages and loads of replacement quality heifers met with good demand. Flesh today mostly moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times, slightly less flesh overall than last week. Quality similar to last week with many attractive quality cattle to choose from. Several days of losses on the CME feeder and live cattle futures this week put some pressure on the market today. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, March 4.
