As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers below 650 lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and over 650 lbs. were steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 600 to 650 lbs. were 3.00 higher and over 650 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower. Good demand for today's offering with many active buyers in attendance. Market was most active for lighter weight feeders below 650 lbs. Quality of feeders was attractive throughout. Numbers were low this week due to cold weather in the area
