A light test of heavier weights sold steady. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. A mix of both un-weaned calves and some long time weaned yearlings coming off grass were offered which is typical for this time of year and demand was good for both as feeder cattle have continued to trend higher on the board this week. The feeder offering included near 62 percent steers and bulls, and 38 percent heifers, with 56 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 10 percent of the offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower.
