Compared to two weeks ago feeder steers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower; the 750 lbs to 799 lbs steers were steady to 2.00 lower, 800 lbs to 849 lbs steers were steady to 2.00 higher, the 900 lbs to 949 lbs steers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher; the 550 lbs to 599 lbs heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 lower, the 650 lbs to 699 lbs heifers were steady to 2.00 higher. No other comparisons available. Today's cattle auction saw a good demand for the available supply of feeder cattle and replacement heifers. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus flesh conditions on the long time back grounded cattle. Several strings of replacement heifers were meet with good demand. Buyers in the seats and on the internet made it a fairly active market today. Cattle on feed report this afternoon came out about as expected. Thank you to all the veterans and their families for the sacrifices they have made to make this country so great. Have a good memorial weekend and stay safe. The Friday, June 5th sale is their 23rd annual WLAC sale. They are expecting a very large run of fancy feeder cattle and replacement heifers.
