As filed

Compared to last week: Trend not applicable on steers due to light numbers to compare. A higher undertone was noted on heifers up to 900 lbs. Heifers 900-1000 lbs. sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good, with many load lots in heavier feeders, The next feeder cattle auction will be June 9th.
