were steady to 5.00 higher, steers from 650 lbs to 699 lbs , 750 lbs to 799 
lbs, 850 lbs to 899 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher; Heifers from 550 lbs to 649 
lbs were 12.00 to 15.00 higher, 650 lbs to 749 lbs were mostly steady, 750 lbs 
to 799 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, 800 lbs to 849 lbs were steady with 
higher undertones noted.  No other comparisons available. A large run of cattle 
for todays auction.  Plenty of fall calves, weaned or unweaned offered mostly 
in part loads.  Multiple consignments of reputation replacement heifers were 
well received.  Bigger background cattle destined for the finishing yard were 
in very good demand with multiple consignments offered in multiple loads, up to 
9 loads in the same sort.  Fleshed ranged from light fleshed cattle that had 
been turned out on pasture to moderate plus coming out of a grow yard.  A very 
active market on all classes of cattle with internet buyers competing with the 
order byers and farmer feeders that were in attendance.  Best demand is on the 
light fleshed cattle suitable for summer grazing operations  The cash market on 
all classes of cattle continues its upward trajectory.  Next feeder sale is 
scheduled for Friday, May 23, 2025.
