Compared to last week feeder steers 650 to 700 lbs. were 3.00 higher and 700 to 750 lbs. were 1.00 lower. Other weights of steers did not have the numbers for a good comparison. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were 4.00 lower ; 600 to 650 lbs. were 1.00 higher and 650 to 800 lbs. were 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Good buyer demand for todays offering. There was a trend for the lighter weight calves that will go to grass this summer by most buyers today. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition today.
