Compared to last week: Trend not applicable due to light run of steers last week. A higher undertone was noted on the steers, on large steers it was instances 10.00-17.00 higher. A higher undertone was noted on heifers up to 800 lbs, heifers 800-850 lbs. were steady, 900-1000 lbs. were 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was very good, with a house full of farmer and order buyers. Many large load lots in todays heavy cattle. Buyers could fill orders easy with one mans feeders. The next feeder cattle auction will be June 16th, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
