Compared to last week; Feeder steers up to 800 lbs. sold 14.00-17.00 lower, steers over 800 lbs. sold 8.00-11.00 lower. Feeder heifers up to 750 lbs. sold 7.00-15.00 lower, heifers over 750 lbs. sold 6.00-10.00 lower. Demand was moderate. Many load lots in todays offering. The auction was slow to get going this morning due to CME Feeder Cattle futures down the limit. The next special feeder cattle auction will be March 19th, expecting 4000 head of feeder cattle,starting at 9:00 am.
