Compared to last Wednesday's sale feeder steers 500 to 550 lbs. were 3.00 higher; 550 to 600 lbs. were 7.00 higher and 600 to 700 lbs. were 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were 7.00 higher; 550 to 600 lbs. were 4.00 higher and 600 to 650 lbs. were 4.00 lower. Load lots of steers and heifers sold very well today. Good demand for todays offering of mostly larger lots of feeders. Next feeder sale is Wednesday November 17th.
