Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 550-600 lbs fully higher; 600-650 lbs 3.00 lower; 650-800 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Demand was good to moderate on todays offering of feeder steers and heifers. Quality was mostly attractive with feeders in light to moderate flesh. Next sale is scheduled for February 4, 2021.
