Compared to last week all weights of steers were higher with 450 to 500 lbs. 14.00 higher; 550 to 650 were 6.00 to 7.00 higher and 650 to 750 lbs. were 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500 to 600 lbs. were 1.00 to 2.00 higher; and 650 to 700 were 8.00 higher. Very good demand for todays offering with buyers aggressively bidding for the offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. Last feeder sale of the year will be next Wednesday.
