As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-5.00 higher. Several reputation strings offered, of mostly long time weaned calves and light weight yearlings. Buyers were a little more aggressive to own cattle as available numbers usually decline from here until late summer. Several inches of rain around the area have ponds full and pastures green, but it is once again another tough year to get crops planted in a timely fashion. Demand good and supply moderate.
