As filed

Compared to the last sale (held on March 13,) steers were mostly 10.00-15.00 higher based on a limited test, and heifers were sharply higher. Offerings today were moderate and comprised of mostly black hided cattle. Very good demand was noted for all classes, with active buyer participation ring side and online. The weather was very favorable on this Good Friday, with many producers in attendance. The next sale is scheduled for May 1.
