Compared to two weeks ago feeder steers from 700 lbs to 850 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher; the 851 lbs to 899 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower and the 900 lbs to 950 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher; the feeder heifers from 550 lbs to 699 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 higher, the 800 lbs to 849 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower. No other comparisons were available. The current world champion livestock auctioneer and two previous champions were here today to auction today's 23rd annual WLAC sale. A larger spectator and buyers crowd were in the seats today along with an active internet bidders creating an active market. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed cattle that came straight off grass to moderate plus fleshed cattle coming out of a grow yard. Several strings of reputation replacement heifers were met with good demand. The next feeder sale will be in two weeks on June 19th, expecting a big run of fancy feeder cattle.
