Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 600 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 750 to 800 lbs. were 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers did not have the numbers for a comparison this week. The quality of todays offering was not as good as past reported sales. Many feeders were carrying more tag as the lots have thawed this past week and conditions are muddy in spots. Moderate buyer demand for todays offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
