As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. The monthly cow special was also held in addition to the feeders with a variety of bred cows and cow/calf pairs in the offering. The demand is strong for all weights and classes of cattle as pastures are now green and the long awaited fat cattle price rally has finally arrived. Demand good and supply moderate.
