FEEDER CATTLE            6632           2600    3137      
  
  
Compared to last week:  best test on steers 750 to 799 lbs and 850 to 899 lbs 
4.00 to 6.00 higher, 950 to 999 lbs  5.00 to 10.00 higher with instances up to 
20.00 higher. Best test on heifers 750 to 899 lbs 2.00 higher. A very large 
offering for the first annual Customer Appreciation BBQ.  Many, many loads and 
strings of finishing type cattle on offer and met with good to very good demand 
depending on flesh condition which ran from moderate to some heavy flesh at 
times.  A few loads and packages of lighter cattle, many of these fall calves, 
were met with very good demand. The mild winter had cattle gaining well and 
several operations had the top cut of their grass cattle in town today as they 
have gotten too heavy to put on grass.  Many attractive cattle to choose from 
throughout the day.  An active market with many buyers and farmer feeders in 
the seats.  Many opportunities to buy multiple loads of same weight cattle 
which buyers took advantage of quite often.  There is a great deal of optimism 
throughout the industry again and buyers and producers want to be sure to have 
cattle to market for the fall season. Much of the crop is planted and some have 
started first cut alfalfa.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, June 11.
