As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers and heifers traded 3.00 to 8.00 higher. A nice offering with several long strings and package trade. A very active internet bidding on grass type cattle and also active bidding from the seats. Green grass and moisture in the area is keeping the market strong. Sale again next Wednesday.
