Compared to last week : Feeder steers 400-450 lbs 8.00 higher; 450-500 lbs 5.00 lower; 500-550 lbs along with 600-700 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. 550-600 and 700-750 lbs 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 400-450 lbs 6.00 lower; 450-600 lbs 3.00 - 5.00 higher; 600-650 lbs 1.00 higher. Demand was good to moderate on today's offering of feeder steers and heifers.
