Compared to last week the only weights for comparison were feeder steers 650 to 750 lbs. which were 5.00 to 7.00 lower this week. Feeder heifers 550 to 600 lbs. were 17.00 lower, 600 to 650 lbs. were 3.00 higher and 650 to 700 lbs. were 6.00 lower. Many nice strings and load lots of feeders in todays offering as well as some nice strings of replacement heifers. Most were long time weaned and had two rounds of shots. Buyer demand was good for todays offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate plus flesh condition.
