As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs traded steady with the sharp advance seen at the previous sale, 500-600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher, and yearling steers over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifers calves sold steady to 5.00 higher, and yearling heifers sold with a higher undertone with few good comparisons from three weeks ago. A really good run of cattle for a June sale in this area when there is this much green grass available, and the offering included seven pot loads of yearlings. Demand good and the supply moderate to heavy.
