Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers up to 1000 lbs. sold 2.00-4.00 lower, steers over 1000 lbs. sold 7.00-8.00 lower. Heifers over 1000 lbs. sold 2.00-4.00 lower. Last week we only had 1265 head of cattle so it makes it hard to compare. Many good load lots in todays offering, demand was good. Next week expecting 2000 head of feeder cattle, starting at 9:00 am.
