As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers traded steady and feeder heifers sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Quality was attractive with many of the calves sold having been through the local FTL-VAC program which guarantees vaccinations, deworming, and weaning. Demand was good to very good and supply moderate.
