There is no comparison in specific weights of feeders this week compared to last week due lower numbers in todays offering. Todays offering consisted mostly of small bunches of mixed feeders. Todays offering was of a lower quality than the offering last week and prices were lower overall this week. There was a small number of quality strings of feeders this week which brought prices similar to last week.
