Compared to last week: Feeder steers 800-1000 lbs. sold steady. Feeder heifers 800-900 lbs. sold unevenly steady, flesh on feeders today was a big factor on prices paid. Top dollar was paid for calves 250-450 lbs. Demand was good, with many large load lots in todays offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be April 20th, expecting 3000 head, starting at 8:30 am
