As filed

Compared to the last feeder sale two weeks ago feeder steer 650 to 700 lbs. were 6.00 lower and 700 to 750 lbs. were 14.00 lower. Feeder heifers 650 to 700 lbs. were 6.00 lower. Other weights not well tested but overall most weights trended lower this week. Todays offering consisted of mostly small lots of heifers and steers. Quality of todays offering was not a nice as two weeks ago. Buyer demand still good for todays offering especially the lighter feeders that will go on grass this spring. Feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition today.
