Compared to two weeks ago: Mostly yearlings today, steers 700 lbs and up were 7.00 -9.00 dollars higher. Heifers sold on a higher undertone today. Most were load lots. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be June 11th, expecting either side of 4000 head , a mix of yearlings and calves, starting at 8:30 am. It will also be MLM BBQ special auction.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $538.85, low $435.10, median $484.29 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
