As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 850-950 lbs. sold steady to 3.00 lower. A higher undertone was noted on lighter cattle with light flesh. Feeder heifers 750-950 lbs. sold steady to 3.00 higher. A large mix of dairy and dairy cross calves today. Price was driven by the quality of the cattle. Demand was good on the light fleshed cattle. Next auction will be July 25th, expecting 5000 plus feeder cattle starting at 8;30 AM
