Compared to last week feeder steers 450 to 550 lbs. were steady to 2.00 higher, 550 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 to 7.00 lower and 700 to 750 lbs. were 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 500 to 600 lbs. were 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. Good buyer demand for todays offering of nice strings of feeders. Next Wednesday will be the last feeder sale for the year.
