Compared to last week the only comparable weights were steers 650 to 700 lbs. that were 4.00 higher this week. All other weights of steers and heifers were higher this week on a very active market. The weather was nicer this week and more feeders came to market. Buyer demand was very good this week. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
