As filed

Compared to the last feeder sale two weeks ago: Steers from 800 lbs to 999 lbs were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher with instances of 8.00 to 10.00 higher on the heavier cattle. No other comparisons available . Flesh conditions range from light flesh cattle coming off grass to moderate plus cattle coming out of grow yards. Several long strings from reputation ranchers offered buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads of one owner cattle together. A very active market as cattle feeders try to keep pens full. Parts of the area remain abnormally dry creating water issues and short grass conditions. Extreme heat forecasted in the area this weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is July 8, 2022. Stay cool and enjoy your Father's Day steak.
