As filed

Compared to the last feeder cattle sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 6.00 to 12.00 higher, and heifers were steady to 5.00 higher. Consistent rains into the beginning weeks of July have producers and buyers in much better spirits than usual this time of year, and demand continues to be very good. Supply was moderate.
