As filed

Compared to the last tested market from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded steady except for 500-600 lbs which sold 5.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 500 lbs steady, with 500-725 lb heifers steady to 5.00 higher. A good mix of calves and yearlings offered with the best demand on the middle weight calves that will work well for grazing. Demand good and supply moderate.
