As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher, 550-750 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, and over 750 lbs steady. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher, and over 700 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. With spring weather near everyone is looking to buy some cattle that will work on grass. Demand good and supply moderate.
