As filed

Compared to the auction from last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs traded firm to 5.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, over 500 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Some very nice reputation strings offered with the heifers gaining back a few dollars on their steer mates this week, that had been lost over the past couple of sales. Demand good and supply moderate.
