Really nice cattle today. Compared to last week 500 to 800 lb steers sold steady to 3.00 higher and 800 to 900 lb feeders sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher. 500 to 800 lb heifers sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher and 800 to 900 lb feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand. The grass is greening up and the buyers are trying to secure the last of their grass cattle needs.
