Steers 950-1000 lbs. were 1.00 higher ,steers over 1000 lbs. were unevenly steady. A higher undertone was noted on heifers up to 850 lbs. Heifers 850-950 lbs. were unevenly steady. A higher undertone was noted on heifers over 1000 lbs. House full of buyers today. Demand was good. Many load lots in todays offering. The next auction will be June 18th, starting at 10:00 am. Expecting 2000 head of cattle.
