As filed

Compared to last week: steers not well compared. Best test on heifers 850 to 899 lbs steady to 4.00 lower with other weight classes of heifers not well compared. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring a couple strings and quite a few loads and packages. More backgrounding or grass type cattle this week as well as quite a few big, finishing type cattle. Flesh varied more than last week, mostly moderate to heavy. Quality also varied, from plain to attractive. An active market with buyers determined to own cattle again this week, both live and feeder cattle futures down today which did not seem to deter buyers in the least. Rain has been very timely again this week and grass conditions look very good. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 5.
