As filed

Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 950 lbs steady to 2.00 higher with instances up to 6.00 higher on 850 to 900 lbs. Best test on heifers 800 to 850 lbs mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for packages in today's offering, good demand for loads and strings. Package quality varied, from plain to attractive, quality on strings mostly attractive. Slightly less flesh on the cattle than last week. Cattle suitable for summer grass remain very sought after, especially a steer weighing in the 600 to 699 range. Grass conditions for this year are looking fantastic so far. Weather conditions remain challenging, with rain and cool temperatures all weekend and the beginning of the week. Pen conditions are very wet and muddy and much field work remains for the season. An active market for today's offering. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, May 29.
