As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded with a firm to higher undertone on a very light test. Area farmers in the middle of grain harvest which led to lighter receipts than expected. Cattle futures consistently making new all-time highs which is adding fire to the cash trade.
