As filed

Compared to the last tested market five weeks ago, steers and heifers of all weights traded sharply higher, catching up with the huge gains the cash feeder market has enjoyed the past several weeks. Slaughter cows also traded sharply higher. A very attractive offering moved through the ring this week for the Annual April Grass Special including multiple load lots and large strings from local reputation producers. Few cattle had trouble finding a ride to a new location as demand was strong for all weights across the board. Buyers were aggressive from start to finish, pushing to some very impressive prices throughout the day, including a load of 852 lb steers that broke the 2.00/lb mark. Supply heavy, demand very good.
