As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold mostly steady and steers over 600lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher on a light offering. Feeder heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher. Receipts were light this week with many producers in the area working hard in the hay fields. Many buyers still showed up and demand was very good for the quality weaned feeders that came to town.
