There were not the numbers of steers and heifers this week for a good comparison from last week. Todays offering consisted of small lots and a couple of loads of heifers. Buyer demand was good for the better quality feeders offered to day especially the lighter weight steers and heifers below 650 lbs. Many of the lots of feeders carried much tag thus reducing their quality and looks. Flesh condition was light to moderate on todays offering.
