Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers were 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Most weights not well tested for a good comparison. Numbers low again this week due to feeder futures trading lower again this week. Today's sale consisted of smaller lots of feeders that were light to moderately fleshed. Prices picked as the sale went on as buyers wanted to fill orders. Moderate to good demand for today's offering.
