As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers under 700 lbs traded unevenly steady except for 500-600 lb heifers noticeably 3.00-7.00 higher. A lower undertone on most of the weights over 700 lbs except a load of yearling steers that traded steady. Another good spring run of cattle with mostly calves in the offering and only a few true yearlings. Many small packages of calves sold with prices quite variable according to quality and flesh. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate to heavy.
