As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 950 to 999 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers not well compared this week. Very good demand for today's light offering featuring several strings and loads of backgrounded cattle and a couple consignments of home raised cattle, mostly weaned fall calves. Quality varied, but many average to attractive cattle to choose from. Flesh mostly moderate plus with some fill on the cattle at times. An active market as buyers try to fill pens for summer feeding as the supply of available cattle is sporadic this time of year. CME board closed today for the Juneteenth holiday. Cooler temps for the area this week with chances of rain, some areas had good rains the beginning of the week. Grass and crop conditions are still looking very good. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
