Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, instances to 18.00 higher on 950 lbs. Best comparison of heifers were those 950-1000 lbs 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this nice, summertime offering of yearling steers and heifers. Several long strings of very attractive, high quality yearlings offered in full loads and multiple load lots. Flesh conditions were attractive overall, light to moderate plus, few in heavy flesh. Feeder Cattle futures were off hard during most of the sale but it did not affect the market at the auction. Cattle feeders continue to feel very bullish as last week's cash fed cattle market traded up to 242.00. Next feeder cattle sale in two weeks, Aug 7, 2025.
