As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs traded steady, over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs firm to 5.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady to weak. A nice supply of feeders for this late in spring with a good mix of both calves and yearlings offered. Lower grain prices and a continued strong fed cattle market are fueling higher calf prices nearly every week. Demand good and supply moderate.
