Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 600 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 601 to 650 lbs mostly steady, 651 to 700 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. A large offering today featuring many, many packages and quite a few loads, including loads and packages of replacement quality heifers. Good to very good demand seen for light fleshed cattle which will fit summer grass programs. Replacements today met with moderate to good demand, many of these bangs vaccinated heifers went out to feed. Flesh and quality varied, from light to moderate plus and plain to attractive. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. The area has received very little moisture so far this year and these dry conditions are a concern as grass time approaches. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
