Compared to last sale: In a light test, feeder steers 4.00-5.00 lower conservatively, 900-1,000 lb steers 5.00 higher with better demand. Feeder heifers 5.00-7.00 lower. Steer calves 5.00-6.00 lower. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher on better quality, except for 500-600 lb weight class 14.00 lower. Demand good. Quality average to attractive, few fancy. Buyers were cautious today, feeder futures boards closed sharply lower the end of last week, followed by a holiday weekend with no market recovery. Feeder boards closed steady today, Tuesday May 26, 2026. The wheat run is officially coming to an end for our area.
