Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers - 500 lbs to 549 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 lower, the 550 lbs to 599 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher, the 700 lbs to 749 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower, the 750 lbs to 899 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher with instances 4.00 higher, the 900 lbs to 950 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers were steady to 4.00 higher, several sets of replacement heifers were met with good demand. Very good demand for today's cattle auction with lots of buyers on the seats wanting to buy cattle. Internet bidders continue to be active during this time of social distancing. Several long strings of one owner cattle offering buyers the opportunity to buy multiple loads of the same cattle. A lot of part loads and packages were available today as well allowing buyers to put loads together. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed cattle that had been turned out on grass 3-4 weeks; to moderate plus flesh cattle coming out of back grounding yards. Quite a number of consignments of weaned fall calves were met with better demand than the fleshier cattle coming out of the grow yards. Next feeder sale will be Friday, July 10th. Happy 4th of July to everyone.
