As filed

Compared to last week; Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower, with the full decline on cattle over 1000 lbs. A lower feeder cattle market was further hampered by limited down CME Feeder Cattle board. In addition a wet spring and consistent rains has lead to muddy pen conditions, as most feeder steers and heifers were carrying a good amount of mud. Despite the wet weather, there were many attractive load lots coming from reputations producers that commanded the attention of buyers and spectators alike. Next week estimating 2,000 feeder cattle starting at 9:00am.
