As filed

Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, all weights only lightly tested with feeder steers near steady and feeder heifers 1.00-3.00 lower. Finally a stretch of dry weather that has most farmers in the area finishing planting and working on hay. Demand moderate and supply light.
