As filed

On very limited comparisons with the previous auction from three weeks ago, most weights of feeder steers and heifers traded 2.00-6.00 higher. A good mix of both calves and yearlings in the offering. Cattle futures traded with sharp triple digit gains Monday, no doubt helped along by the consistently higher fed cattle trade. Demand good and supply moderate.
