Compared to two weeks ago Feeder Steers under 600 1.00 lower, 600 to 750 8.00 to 10.00 lower, over 750 not well compared, Feeder Heifers under 550 Steady to 4.00 higher, 550 to 650 Steady to 4.00 lower, 650 to 750 8.00 to 12.00 lower. Despite the extreme movements in the futures markets the War in Ukraine has created there was Good Demand for today's Supply. Load Lots sold on an Active Market, Packages sold on a Moderate Market. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is March 22. We certainly pray the situation in Ukraine will deescalate.
