Compared to last feeder sale two weeks ago, best comparison would be on the 750 lbs to 849 lbs steers were mostly 4.00 to 8.00 lower. The lighter steers suitable for summer grazing programs were mostly steady on limited numbers for comparisons. Heifers from 500 lbs to 649 lbs were generally 6.00 to 8.00 higher with instances of 12.00 higher, heifers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs would be steady to 2.00 higher. Several long strings of reputation bangs vaccinated replacement heifers were met with very good demand. Mostly order buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers made for a fairly active market. Several long string offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle in the same sort. Lots of part loads and packages available to make loads out of as well today. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay cattle to moderate fleshed backgrounded cattle. Most of the area is in need of a good rain. The next feeder sale will be Friday, May 19, 2023
