As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, not enough feeder steers to establish a trend, the feeder heifers over 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Around 850 head of bawling spring calves sold in the mix and about 50 percent had not received any precondition shots with the majority selling at a discount. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
