Customer Appreciation BBQ Auction. Compared to the feeder auction 2 weeks ago, 500 pound steers were 18.00 - 20.00 higher, 700 pound steers were 7.00 - 10.00 higher. 600 pound heifers were 3.00 - 5.00 higher. Great offering of green feeder cattle available in load lots today. Demand was very good for today's moderate offering. Trade was active.
