Compared to two weeks ago: Steers from 600 lbs to 699 lbs and 850 lbs to 899 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher, steers from 750 lbs to 849 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 higher; heifers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs and 750 lbs to 799 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher, while heifers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, other weight classes not well compared. Good demand for todays offering of mostly home raised, preconditioned feeders and replacement heifers. Best demand for the light fleshed hay feed cattle with moderate demand for heavier cattle coming out of grow yards. An active market today with order buyers competing with internet buyers. Several strings offered buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads of one owner cattle together, up to eight loads per consignment. Several consignments of reputation replacement heifers were well received. Wide spread rain in the area is giving promise to a productive grazing season. Next sale will be Friday, May 10, 2024
