As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold on a lower undertone. Lower numbers for today for good trend. Demand was good, with many large load lots in the offering. Flesh was a big factor in prices today. There will be NO Feeder Cattle Auction next week or on July 6th. The next feeder cattle sale will be June 29th, expecting 3000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
