As filed

Compared to last week, supply on feeders was light as many producers were in the hay fields this week, and it is getting to that time of year when supply on feeders is becoming harder to come by. On a light test, feeder steers and heifers sold $15.00-$20.00 higher. With the feeder board showing positive gains this week, demand was strong. Slaughter cattle also saw strong demand, selling $15.00 higher.
