Compared to last sale two weeks ago: steers were generally 10.00 to 15.00 lower; heifers from 650 lbs to 899 lbs were mostly 10.00 to 20.00 lower based on limited comparisons. Todays offering consisted of fall calves, weaned or right off the cow; yearlings off grass or coming from a back grounding lot and several consignments of fancy replacement heifers. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed cattle that had been turned out on grass to moderate plus cattle coming out of a grow yard. An active market on all classes with order buyers and farmer feeders competing with internet buyers. Multiple consignments offered in multiple loads enabled buyers to fill empty pens quickly. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, July 11, 2025.
