Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 6.00 to 12.00 higher, except 800-850 lbs not well compared. Feeder heifers were too limited last sale to offer a comparison with this week. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers this week. Many long strings of high quality, light fleshed steers and heifers of offer, including full loads and multiple load lots of cattle suitable to run on grass this summer or to head straight to finishing yards. Many outstanding, high quality heifers suitable to breed were on offer as well and were met with very good demand by many buyers. The next feeder cattle sale will be in 2 weeks, April 10, 2020.
