Compared to last week: best test on steers 750 to 800 lbs and 850 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher with instances up to 9.00 higher, 901 to 1000 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Best test on heifers 550 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher, 800 to 850 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages and loads including several packages of fall calves. Quality similar to last week with many attractive cattle to choose from. Less light fleshed cattle offered today, most cattle in moderate to heavy flesh. A few consignments of replacement heifers again this week with some of these in town due to the dry conditions. An active market seen for today's offering. Rain and cooler weather expected for the rest of the week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 2.
