Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 850 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher, 851 to 950 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Best test on heifers 800 to 850 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for today's offering featuring several strings and many loads and packages including several consignments of fall calves. Similar to recent weeks, flesh varied quite a bit, from light to some heavy flesh at times. Loads and strings mostly average to attractive in quality, package quality more mixed, from plain to attractive. Cattle were generally clean hided today as pens have had a chance to dry out the last week or so. An active market despite a smaller crowd at the sale today. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 1.
