Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 600 to 750 lbs. were steady and 750 to 950 lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to for most weight classes from last week. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for a comparison. Good to very good demand for todays offering. Many good strings and load lots of steers and heifers in todays sale. The market was active with plenty of buyers at ringside actively bidding. Flesh condition was light to moderate.
