Compared to last week feeder steers traded mixed with 500 to 550 lbs. 4.00 higher; 550 to 600 lbs. were 5.00 lower and 600to 700 lbs. were 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were steady and 550 to 650 lbs. were 3.00 lower this week. Many smaller lots in todays offering with a few load lots. More feeders were expected today but the high winds in the area caused some feeders not to come to market today. Demand was moderate to good today for the offering. The feeder sale scheduled for Saturday was canceled and next Wednesday is a bred cow sale. The next scheduled feeder sale will be on Saturday November 27th.
