Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 999 lbs and 1050 to 1099 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher,1000 to 1049 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for this large offering featuring several long strings and many loads and packages of both home raised and back grounded cattle. Flesh ranged from moderate to some heavy flesh at times on backgrounded cattle. Quality mostly average to attractive. An active market with plenty of interest in filling pens with multiple loads of same weight cattle. No sale next seek due to the 4th of July, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
