Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers is from 800 lbs to 899 lbs were 
mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher, lighter weight classes had lower undertones on 
limited comparisons; heifers from 600 lbs to 749 lbs were steady with instances 
of 6.00 higher, heifers from 700 lbs to 799 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 lower, 
heifers from 800 lbs to 849 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher.  No other comparisons 
available.  Muddy roads in the area caused several cancellations, although 
there was still a large run of cattle for todays auction.  Plenty of fall 
calves, weaned or unweaned offered mostly in part loads and packages.  Multiple 
consignments of reputation replacement heifers were offered in multiple loads, 
up to 6 loads in the same sort.  Bigger background cattle destined for the 
finishing yard were in very good demand with multiple consignments offered in 
multiple loads, with two consignments of  9 loads of the same sort.  Flesh 
conditions 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 buyer and 
farmer feeders that were in attendance.  Best demand was on the light fleshed 
cattle suitable for summer grazing operations.  Much needed moisture in the 
area has been very welcomed by producers as prospects for summer grazing is 
greatly improved, with more moisture forecasted for the weekend.  Cattle on 
feed report this afternoon came out about as projected.  Have a good Memorial 
weekend and Thank You Veterans for your service.  Next  feeder sale will be 
June 6th, the 28th annual WLAC Anniversary Sale, expecting over 12,000 cattle.
