Compared to last week:  best test on steers 850 to 899 lbs mostly steady and 
950 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher.  Heifers not well compared as many heifers 
last week were replacements sold by the head.  Good to very good demand for 
finishing type cattle today depending on flesh condition, very good demand for 
lighter, backgrounding and grass type cattle, especially those selling in load 
lots.  Many loads to choose from, sometimes a couple loads to a cut.  Flesh 
varied with some cattle carrying quite a bit of flesh and also some fill seen 
at times.  A little mud on the cattle with the recent rains and muddy lot 
conditions.  Quality varied, from plain to attractive.  An active market seen 
for this offering.  Customer appreciation sale next Wednesday, June 4, 
expecting around 4000 head.
