As filed

Compared to last week: best test on steers 700 to 750, 800 to 850, 950 to 1000, and 1050 to 1100 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers not well compared for an accurate trend. Moderate to good demand for another large offering this week. Quality varied more this week than last week, anywhere from plain to attractive quality on today's offering. Flesh similar to last week with most of the offering in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. A moderate to active market today with slightly less enthusiasm than last week to procure cattle. Much of the planting in this area is completed and some have started first cut alfalfa. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 10.
