We sold 4000 feeder cattle on Saturday May 16th to a nice crowd of buyers. Our first feeder test since April 18th. We called the market steady to that sale in instances, higher on 700 lb steers and in other instances a bit lower on packages and cattle with some flesh. All in all very strong market with an average of over $3000 per head top to bottom. Feed price fluctuation due to dry conditions & fluctuation on the board have buyers using caution. Thank you to all 50 consignors that trust us handling your feeder cattle. Great job work crew for running an efficient sale.
