*ADD CLOSE With Final Receipts*

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 15.00-19.00 higher. Feeder heifers not well tested, but instances of 12.00 higher on comparable receipts. Steer and heifer calves were not well tested, but instances of 20.00-25.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Another light run this week as many producers are hesitant to move cattle. Warm spring weather will be present across the trade region through out the week.
