As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher, with steers over 700 lbs steady on a light test. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 10.00 lower, with over 600 lbs steady. Several reputation cattle in the offering and that helped support prices, especially around the 600 lb weight range. Demand was good on a moderate supply.
