Compared to last week's large BBQ sale: best test on steers 1000 to 1099 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Best test on heifers 900 to 949 lbs mostly steady, 950 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower with instances up to 7.00 lower. Very good demand for cattle again this week. Several strings of backgrounded cattle and many packages and quite a few loads of home raised cattle to choose from today. Flesh ranged from light to heavy flesh at times on back grounded cattle. A couple loads of replacement heifers available which are easy to find homes for. Quality varied, but many attractive cattle to choose from again this week. An active market with a few less buyers than last week but still plenty of interest in owning cattle. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
