Feeder steers 500-650 lbs were mostly steady, while the 350-500 lbs steers were 3.00 to 8.00 higher with good demand. The 650-750 lbs steers were 6.00 to 10.00 higher with sharp demand, however steers 750 lbs and over were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 250-450 were 3.00 to 8.00 higher with good demand, while the 500-700 lbs heifers were mostly steady with a good supply. Buyers were active and willing to pay premiums for quality feeders, however discounts were were noted for smaller framed, heavy conditioned, and off colored calves. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with good demand.
