Compared to last week feeders were mixed. Feeder steers 700 to 750 lbs. were 11.00 lower and feeder heifers 650 to 700 lbs. were steady. These were the only two weights for a comparison this week due to the low numbers of feeders last week. There were only a few strings of quality feeders in todays offering. Most of todays offering were in moderate to lower quality and eye appeal. The long harsh winter appears to be reflecting in the appearance of feeders that came to market today. Only moderate demand for todays offering unless the quality was there. Most feeders were in moderate flesh condition.
