As filed

Compared to last week's larger offering: best test on steers 900 to 949 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifers 850 to 949 lbs steady. A nice variety of feeder cattle in today's offering, backgrounding and grass type cattle saw very good demand , good to very good demand for finishing type cattle. Flesh condition varied, less flesh overall than seen last week, with quite a few cattle green enough for grass. An active market with a more positive outlook this week on the futures complex. Widespread rains across the area are giving grass and crops a good start to the growing season. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 17.
