This was the last regular Thursday sale until July. Farmers and Ranchers will be having sales, selling all classes of cattle on Mondays in June. In July they will resume the normal Thursday sales. There will be a special "closed" bred cow and pair sale on June 5th. Nice offering of cattle today for the last regular Thursday sale. Feeder steers over 850 lbs sold mostly 8.00 to 13.00 higher and feeder heifers over 800 lbs sold uneven 3.00 lower to 1.00 higher. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
