As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded steady to firm. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Feeder cattle continue to sell very well even with record high feed costs. A nice run of cattle for the middle of May considering most farmers in this area can found in a tractor trying to get as much field work done as possible before the next rain. Demand was good and supply moderate.
