Compared to last week: Feeder steers 600-750 lbs. were 3.00-7.00 higher, steers 750-1000 lbs. were 3.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 600-1000 lbs. were unevenly steady. Demand was good. We had 12 consignors with over 150 head of feeders. Many feeders were caring some mud. Next week is their "HEREFORD" influenced feeder cattle auction, Feb. 15th, expecting 4500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
