Compared to last sale (5-19-23): Feeder steers under 550 lbs were too lightly tested last sale to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. 550-749 lbs steers sold mostly 20.00 higher, steers over 750 lbs sold mostly 5.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers all sold sharply higher, with mostly sales from 15.00-25.00 higher. Replacement heifers sold sharply higher as well, with the bulk of sales 20.00-30.00 higher. Quality this sale was attractive to very attractive. Many consignments of fall calves were seem this sale. Most of these offerings were weaned from 45-90 days and many had already been out running on grass. Additionally, most fall offerings had at least two rounds of vaccinations. Flesh conditions were mostly thin to light today and very attractive to buyers. Yearlings were in mostly light flesh today and offered buyers attractive weigh conditions. Higher CME Live and feeder cattle contracts seen over the last two trading days helped spur prices higher as buyers were eager to fill pastures and pen spaces. A very large crowd was on hand for today's sale with many bidders and buyers both in the stands and on the internet actively bidding on offerings. Market activity today was very active as a result.
