Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good to very good on a light to moderate supply. Following a weekend of heavy rains and flooding, sunshine and warmer temperatures were a welcomed sign of Spring. Pasture conditions are improving but are still in need of warmer nighttime temperatures to get the grass growing faster than the cattle can graze.
