This is the first sale of the year so no trend is available; however, feeder cattle on offer today were comprised of good quality, mostly moderate flesh, and in very good demand from buyers both online and in the ring. While grass isn't yet plentiful enough for grazing, buyers are clearly anticipating summer grazing with the favorable market displayed today. The next sale is scheduled for April 3, 2026.
