As filed

Sale not reported last week due to light feeder cattle receipts. Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 950 and 1000 to 1050 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Best test on heifers 800 to 850 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering. Quite a few loads and packages and couple of strings on offer, cattle which could go to grass continue to see excellent demand. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. Flesh mostly light to moderate plus, less flesh overall than two weeks ago. An active market with both order buyers and farmer feeders attending the sale. Grass conditions look excellent in this area, farmers are having a tougher time getting crops planted as many fields are wet. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 14.
