Compared to last month's sale , feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00-10.00 lower. Demand good for the better quality feeders offered at the lower prices. Holstein steers sold 5.00-10.00 lower on moderate demand. Feeder bulls sold 10.00-15.00 lower on a light test. Buyer attendance good and trade very active.
