As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers under 700 lbs steady, with not enough feeders over 700 lbs to establish a trend. Receipts starting to decline as most area farmers have turned their attention to crop planting with conditions so far nearly ideal for early seeding. Demand moderate to good and supply light to moderate.
