As filed

Compared to the last feeder special from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs traded 2.00-5.00 higher with not enough over 700 lbs for a good market test. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs mostly steady with 700-800 lb heifers firm to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 1.00-3.00 higher compared to last week and slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Several part load lots of yearling heifers were offered along with some nice strings of 500-650 lb steer calves. Rain continues to slow field work with farmers not able to finish corn and soybean planting or start with the hay harvest.
