Compared to the last reported feeder sale three weeks ago feeder steers were higher with 500 to 600 lbs. 19.00 to 24.00 higher this week and the 650 to 700 lbs. were 1.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500 to 550 lbs. were 10.00 higher. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for a comparison. Some nice strings and loads of calves in todays offering. Buyers were aggressively bidding to get their orders filled. Much more optimism in the futures market by buyers today than there was the month of December. More calves coming to market backgrounded and full series of shot. Flesh condition was light to moderate plus on the calves in todays offering.
