Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was good 
at the two reporting auctions.   Couple different types of cattle on hand at 
the auctions. Wednesday's sale was yearlings coming off native grass and 
Saturday's receipts came mostly out of backgrounding lots. Flesh and weighing 
conditions were a little different but, it didn't deter buyers from purchasing. 
 With feedlots tuning a hefty profit on slaughter steers and heifers buyers are 
very willing to jump back into the historic cattle market. Many buyers are more 
concerned there will not be enough feeder cattle to go around more than the 
cost of the cattle in today's market.  With a bumper corn crop on the horizon 
many farmer/feeders are planning on walking their crop to town as they continue 
to purchase cattle to feed. Irrigated and dry land fields look very well with 
several areas of the state receiving over 20 inches of rain since the middle of 
May. Feedlot managers continue to be in the driver's seat and held firm on 
asking prices for their show-list. Live sales sold steady to 5.00 higher at 
245.00 and dressed sales sold 3.00 higher at 383.00 on negotiated prices.
