This is the last sale for the year with a good offering of all classes of feeders and feeder steers were trading significantly lower from last month and feeder heifers were also sharply lower with no comparison on feeder bulls due to none offered last month but were trending lower today. There was active buyer participation on all feeders today and some fancy type groups this sale.
