Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 950 to 999 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, heifers not well compared. Good to very good demand for a nice offering of feeder cattle today. Several long strings and a few single loads made up the majority of the cattle. Quality was mostly attractive and flesh condition moderate to moderate plus, some fill seen at times. An active market with buyers interested in multiple loads of same weight cattle quite a bit of the time. No sale next week, next feeder cattle sale is Friday, June 26.
