Compared to two weeks ago: Steers from 600 lbs to 850 lbs were generally 12.00 to 20.00 higher; heifers from 600 lbs to 899 lbs were mostly 10.00 to15.00 higher with instances of 20.00 higher. No other comparisons available. Muddy roads in some areas caused several cancellations. A big run of cattle with a large crowd in attendance for the 28th Annual WLAC Anniversary Sale. Plenty of fall calves, weaned or unweaned offered mostly in part loads and packages. Multiple consignments of reputation replacement heifers were offered in multiple loads, up to 3 loads in the same sort. Bigger background cattle destined for the finishing yard were in very good demand with multiple consignments offered in multiple loads, up to 10 loads of the same sort. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed cattle that had been turned out on pasture to moderate plus coming out of a grow yard. A very active market on all classes of cattle with internet buyers competing with the order buyers and farmer feeders that were in attendance. Best demand was on the light fleshed cattle suitable for summer grazing operations. Next feeder sale is scheduled for June 20, 2025.
