As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers under 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, with weights over 500 lbs firm to 5.00 higher. An active market on all weights with buyers acting as if they wanted to own more cattle before prices climbed even higher. Snow, ice and mud all have been a problem recently in northeast Missouri with lot conditions in poor shape. Demand good and supply moderate.
