As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 600 lbs. were steady to 4.00 lower; 600 to 750 lbs. were 1.00 to 9.00 higher and 750 to 800 lbs. were steady. Feeder heifers below 600 lbs. were steady to 1.00 lower and 600 to 650 lbs. were 4.00 higher. Other weights not well tested for a comparison. More buyers in attendance this week but demand was only moderate for todays offering. Another snow and cold front is to enter the state this week and may be having an affect on the market this week. Flesh condition was light to moderate plus this week on the feeders in the offering.
