Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded with a good demand on a light supply. A firm to higher undertone noted where sufficient numbers could be gathered. More rain across the area this past weekend with some cattlemen still struggling to finish with first cutting hay as the extremely wet conditions this spring and summer just won't let up.
