As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 10.00-20.00 higher with weights over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Once again new all time high prices set for many weight categories. Still a good mix of calves and yearlings, but more new crop calves finding their way to the market, and these grass prospects are really bringing some almost unbelievable dollars per head. Demand was very good and supply moderate.
