Compared to last weeks report feeder steers 400 to 450 lbs. were 14.00 higher, 450 to 550 lbs. were 1.00 to 3.00 higher, 550 to 600 lbs. were 10.00 higher and 600 to 650 lbs. were 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 400 to 450 lbs. were 7.00 higher, 450 to 500 lbs. were 2.00 higher and 500 to 600 lbs. were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Buyers were bidding higher to get the feeders they need to fill orders. Seeing more weaned calves this week along with two rounds of shots and buyers are paying a premium for these feeders. Many nice strings of of calves this week with several load lots of steers and heifers in the offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
