Compared to last week there were not enough steer numbers this week for a comparison. Feeder heifers 600 to 750 lbs. were 3.00 to 5.00 higher and 750 to 800 lbs. were steady. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Demand moderate to good for today's offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh. This appears to be nearing the end of the feeder run for this spring.This will be the finale sales report this spring until the fall run starts later on this fall.
