Heifers 700-800 lbs. were 4.00 higher, heifers 800-950 were 7.00-10.00 higher, a higher undertone was noted on heifers 950 lbs. and up. Demand was very good, with many large lots in todays offering.

There will be no auction next week on July 1st, next feeder cattle auction will be July 8th, expecting 3500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am. Have a safe and happy 4th of July.
