As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeders sold steady to firm on a limited test. The supply of feeders was light with much of the offering made up of smaller lots. A highlight was a full load of 724 lb. heifers which sold for 255.75. Demand was moderate. Although the weather was quite pleasant for auction day, last weeks extreme heat had many discussing the effects it had on all ready stressed crops in the area.
