Compared to last month, Feeder steers sold 10.00-15.00 higher on very good demand. Many feeders still looking for cattle to put on the abundant grass available. Feeder heifers sold 5.00-10.00 higher on good demand and a very large supply. Feeder Holstein steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher on good demand and a light supply. Feeder bulls sold 10.00-20.00 higher on a light supply.
