As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, with weights over 600 lbs steady on a light test. Calf and yearling prices continue to have one of their best springs ever as buyers push the market higher each week to own more cattle. Demand good and supply moderate.
