Compared to last week: steers 550 to 600 lbs mostly steady, 601 to 750 lbs and 801 to 850 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher with instances up to 9.00 higher on 800 to 850 lbs, 751 to 800 lbs and 851 to 900 lbs mostly steady, 901 to 1100 lbs steady to 1.00 higher except 950 to 1000 lbs not well compared. Heifers 450 to 550 lbs mostly steady, 551 to 800 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher except 600 to 650 lbs not well compared. Good to very good demand for today's large offering featuring many strings, loads, and packages of both home raised and backgrounded attractive quality cattle. Less flesh overall today than last week and many cattle in just light to moderate flesh. A couple consignments of replacement quality heifers again this week, these saw very good demand. An active market seen for today's offering. The next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 27.
