Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago feeder steers below 700 lb were 2.00 to 8.00 lower on limited numbers for a good comparison. Feeder steers above 700 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher with instances of 12.00 higher on large numbers of heavy weight steers sold in load lots. Feeder heifers trended higher this week with many nice strings of replacement heifers and light weight heifers to go on pasture. Numbers too low three weeks ago for a good comparison this week. Demand was good for today's offering even with fewer buyers in attendance.
