Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 550 lbs. were 4.00 lower, 550 to 650 lbs. were 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. were 4.00 higher, 550 to 600 lbs. were 7.00 higher. Other weights of heifers not well tested for a comparison. Very good demand for both heifers and steers today. Several load lots of steers today. Spring calves were in light to moderate flesh condition.
