As filed

No sale July 1 2026 in observance of Independence Day. Next sale will be July 8,2026. Compared to last week, steer calves sold higher and feeder steers had no comparable sales but higher trend prevailed. Heifer calves 300-400 lbs were sharply higher and 450-600 lbs sold steady to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady. Trade and demand were good on smaller numbers with a higher market. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 7.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance..
