As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold steady to 10.00 lower. Feeder steers over 600 lbs. sold 5.00-20.00 higher with the most gain on weights over 800 lbs. Feeder heifers sold from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher with the exception of six weight heifers which sold 15.00-25.00 higher. Supply was moderate with very good demand. We are fortunate here in SW Missouri with plenty of rain. Ponds are full, the grass is green, and the cattle market is good.
