*THERE WILL BE A SALE ON 7/1/2024*

Compared to last week: The strongest test this week was on 5 and 6-weight feeder heifers selling $9.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls sold $16.00 to $18.00 higher on a light test. Slaughter cows sold steady to $2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold $7.00 higher. With the HOT weather, the supply was held back from the previous week. Demand was good
