Compared to last sale, Feeder steers sold steady to 10.00 higher. Holstein feeder steers sold steady on a very light test. Feeder heifers sold 10.00-20.00 lower. Feeder bulls sold mostly steady on another very light test. Overall quality better than previous sale. Demand very good for the better quality cattle offered. Buyer attendance moderate.
