Compared to last week: best test on steers 750 to 800 lbs, 850 to 900 lbs, and 951 to 1000 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 901 to 950 lbs steady. Too few heifers last week to compare to today's larger heifer offering and develop an accurate trend. Good demand for today's large offering of many strings, loads, and packages. Packages were mostly weaned fall calves. Quality varied, but mostly plain to average. Quality on loads and strings mostly attractive with slightly more flesh on these kind of cattle than last week, flesh was heavy at times. An active market with many buyers and producers attending the auction today. Another negative day on the CME live and feeder cattle futures. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, June 19.
