Compared to three weeks ago: Feeder steers under 600 lbs traded mostly 12.00 higher, while those over 600 lbs traded steady to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs traded 5.50 to 6.75 lower on a light test, while those over 550 lbs traded 1.00 to 12.00 higher. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. This will be the last stand alone feeder sale as the barn transitions to their summer schedule, with a combined sale for all classes each Thursday. The next feeder sale will take place in the fall, usually in the latter part of September or early October.
