Compared to last week, steers less than 700 lbs lightly tested but a lower 
undertone was noted. Over 700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher.  Heifers sold 
unevenly steady throughout the week. Demand was good with quite a few buyers 
around the auctions and internet buying was also active. With todays active 
market many fall calf producers are selling bawlers instead of weaning them.  
Million-dollar rain over the Memorial Day weekend across most areas of the 
state. Nice, slow moving rain showers lasted most of the weekend, bringing much 
needed moisture that soaked into the ground making mud for the first time in 
many areas this year. Nebraska feedlots' sales continue to set all-time high 
prices. Live sales sold 1.00-2.00 higher from 230.00-231.00.  Bulk of the 
dressed sales sold 2.00 higher from 360.00-370.00, mostly at 360.00.
