View USDA PDF VersionWith a larger run of feeders this week and due to the small numbers of feeders last only two weights could be compared. Feeder steers 550 to 600 lbs. were 2.00 lower and feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. were 38.00 higher this week. Many smaller lots of feeders in today's offering. Buyer demand was good for all weights of feeders today and those that were weaned and two rounds of shots brought the higher prices in each weight class. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. This was the last feeder sale for the year. of 2025. The next feeders sale will be January 7, 2026.
