Compared to two weeks ago:  Feeder steers 15.00 to 25.00 higher, heifers 10.00 
to 14.00 higher.  Very good demand for this lighter offering of yearling steers 
and heifers.  The majority of the offering was in full load lots, including 
multiple load lots.  The market was very active as there were many buyers on 
the seats ready to buy these highly desirable cattle.  The feature consignment 
of nearly 400 steers was in a very attractive, light to moderate flesh 
condition, other consignments ranged from moderate plus to heavy flesh.  As the 
cash fed cattle market continues it's advance, cattle feeders are extremely 
bullish and willing to chase the market a long ways to get the yearlings bought 
that they need.  Next feeder cattle sale, Aug 14, 2025, expecting 3,500 feeders 
and starting at 10:00 am.
