Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago 800 lbs steers sold 15.00 and 900 lbs steers 4.00 higher. Heifers over 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Cow/calf pairs sold fully steady. Not enough light weight calves for a market comparison. Demand was good from start to finish. Area feedlots traded live sales 2.00 to 4.00 higher at 145.00 and dressed sales 4.00 to 5.00 higher at 230.00 on Tuesday. Along with higher CME cattle boards on Wednesday helped fire up the feeder cattle market. Some of the feeders came off summer grass with other out of back-grounding pens. Next feeder cattle sale will be in two weeks on June 29.
