As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded 4.00-8.00 higher with feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Cattle futures were sharply higher Monday and continue to lead the feeder market higher. Plenty of rain throughout Northeast Missouri has pastures still green for late July. Demand good and supply moderate.
