Compared to the last tested feeder auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded steady to 5.00 higher, with instances up to 10.00 higher, especially on yearling heifers. Certainly the highlight of the day was the final load from a brother partnership that has been in the cattle business all of their lives, and are now turning the operation over to a younger generation. With many of their family members in attendance, their last load of 771 pounders scorched the yearling heifer market at 189.50 and was capped off with an enthusiastic round of applause. Demand was good to very good and the supply moderate.
