As filed

Compared to last week's sale; Steer calves 400-550 lbs sold steady to 20.00 higher and feeder steers and feeder heifers had insufficient numbers to compare but a higher trend was felt throughout. Heifer calves 350-500 lbs sold 5.00-20.00 higher with 500-600 lbs being 15.00 lower. Trade was moderate on uneven market with smaller numbers and plainer cattle. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 lower few 1.00-2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 5.00-6.00 higher with a few 5.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance. Next sale will be Tuesday April 7, 2026.
