Compared to last week feeder steers traded 3.00-7.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded 3.00-5.00 higher. The offering consisted of several thousand high quality cattle. Perfect Fall weather along with the Yearling Special sale drew a large number of buyers and sellers. Demand was very good for high quality heifers. Overall demand was good on a heavy supply.
