As filed

After recent heavy rains and cooler weather, the feeder supply was moderate. Green grass is coming on, but local farmers are fighting muddy conditions. Lighter weight Feeder Cattle for returning to grass were on short supply. Bulk of the sale was 600-800 weight cattle that were started on feed and showing some condition. There was good demand for weaned and vaccinated groups. This is the first of three sales for the Accident Livestock Auction, with the other two sales April 27th and May 11th.
