Compared to last week; This was a smaller auction making a trend difficult for both steers and heifers. A lower undertone was noted on steers up to 950 lbs. Steers 950-1000 lbs. were 1.00 lower. An unevenly steady undertone was noted on heifers up to 850 lbs. Heifers 850-950 lbs. were 2.00 lower. A few load lots in todays offering. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be June 11th, starting at 8:30 am, expecting 6000 head of feeders. This will be their special appreciation B B Q lunch auction day.
