As filed

Compared to the auction from last week, feeder steers under 550 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher, 550-650 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher, and over 650 lbs steady with last weeks advance. Feeder heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher. A very active market with buyers firing bids right out of the gate on a nice quality offering of cattle. Demand was good to very good and the supply moderate.
