As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher with spots up to 7.00 higher on lightweight calves. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Despite average to below average quality for the majority of the offering this week, spring like weather brought in many buyers to easily find all cattle in the offering new homes.
