Compared to last week: Not all weights well tested for comparison. Feeder steers 450-500 lbs 20.00 to 23.00 higher, 550-600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 600-650 lbs 14.00 lower. Feeder heifers 400-450 lbs and 500-600 lbs 5.00 to 9.00 lower with instances up to 13.00 lower, 800-850 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Light sale due to weather conditions. Good buyer demand. Flesh condition light to moderate.
