As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded unevenly steady. The quality light weight steers calves easily shot up to two dollars per pound or beyond, and a load of yearling heifers weighing 894 lbs sold for 147.50 which was even higher priced than the fantastic sale from two weeks ago. However, cattle quality was quite variable throughout the day with a lot of small packages offered and the buyers were pretty selective about what they wanted to take home.
