As filed

Compared to last week, light receipts this week coming off the Easter weekend in most cases were lightly tested but steer calves under 500 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone and 500-650 lb steers for the most part sold steady to firm. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lb sold steady to firm as well with a pot load of heifers weighing 669 lbs trading with a higher undertone than last week's light comparison. Demand was good for a light supply as buyers were active to purchase light calves for grass selling in small packages and groups, with many in the offering being new crop calves but overall quality was good on the calves. CME Cattle futures had a massive sell-off on Monday with Live Cattle contracts from April thru December down 4.92-6.10 and Feeder Cattle contracts from April thru November down 6.02 -7.50 seemed to have little effect on the feeder cattle market. Slaughter cows didn't reach last weeks highs but still sold on a very active market trading steady to 4.00 lower.
