Compared to two weeks ago flat 600 lbs steers sold 1.00 higher, yearling steers over 700 lbs sold 8.00 to 9.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher. Cow/calf pairs sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate to good for pairs with good demand for feeder cattle. A very large crowd of buyers were on hand Wednesday for the bi-weekly auction. Sharply higher CME live cattle and feeder cattle boards with sharply lower corn futures more than likely put some spark on Wednesday fall calf and feeder cattle market. Next Special Feeder and Pair sale will be in two weeks on June 15.
