As filed

Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded near steady on a light test, except for both 600-700 lb steers and heifers 2.00-3.00 higher. Several bred cows and pairs also selling in the morning and meeting with a very good demand. Another rain storm moving through the area Monday afternoon keeping the countryside well watered and very green for this time of year. Feeder demand good and supply light.
