Compared to last week: Feeder steers 500-800 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 lower, steers 800 lbs. and up were 8.00-11.00 lower. Heifers 600-900 lbs. sold 2.00-5.00 lower, heifers 900-950 lbs. were 11.00 lower. With the mild winter so far the heavy feeders are caring some extra flesh. Demand was good. Some load lots in the heavy feeders. The next feeder cattle auction will be Jan. 21st, 6000 head expected, starting at 8:30 am.
