As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher compared to last weeks light test. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Buyer demand was good on active trading activity. Quality was very attractive, with several load lots of cattle with reputable shot programs on offer. Receipts have returned to normal as warmer temperatures have returned to the area, allowing producers to return to animals to their prior state before the storm.
