Compared to last week feeder steers 550 to 600 lbs. were 8.00 higher and 650 to 700 lbs. were steady. Feeder heifers 600 to 650 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 700 to 750 lbs. were 10.00 higher. All on a very active market with buyers willing to bid to get their orders filled. Many nice strings of steers and heifers in todays offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition with good eye appeal. Market showed higher undertones on most weights of feeders today.
