As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-10.00 lower, except for a few light weights under 400 lbs that traded about steady. Many ag commodities have pushed to new recent high prices, but the cattle futures continue to implode and that has shaken the entire beef complex.
