As filed

Compared to last week's auction, 400 - 500 lb feeder steers were fully steady; 600 lb steers 2.00 - 4.00 lower. Heifer results steady with last week. Light test on yearling feeder cattle. Supply was moderate to light. Trade was active; demand was good for today's offering of long time weaned, vaccinated fall feeder calves.
