Compared to two weeks ago. Feeder steers traded with the best test seen on 800-950 lb 2.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded with a lower undertone. Demand was good to moderate on today's offering of feeder steers and heifers. Quality was mostly attractive with feeders in moderate flesh with many drafts of quality replacement heifers in the offering.
