Compared to last week: A very large offering of feeder cattle this week for the annual summer BBQ customer appreciation sale, feeder steers too lightly tested last week to offer a solid price comparison but a definite higher undertone was noted. The only good comparison of heifers were those weighing 850-950 lbs which sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher, other weights sold with higher undertones. Good demand for these long strings of high quality, attractive, light to moderate fleshed yearlings. More moderate demand for the small packages, and for the less attractive cattle. A few consignments of fall calves sold with good demand. More buyers on the seats this week, especially farmer feeders who either finally finished planting or just called it quits and came to town ready to buy cattle. There was a large selection this week with many full loads and multiple load lots which allowed them to fill their pens at home with uniform cattle from one outfit if they desired. Next week expecting 2,000 feeder cattle.
