As filed

Last reported sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend cannot be established. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages, loads and a couple strings with best demand seen for cattle suitable for grass programs. Quality today was mostly attractive and flesh varied, but most cattle in light to moderate plus flesh. An active market seen for this offering. After limit losses on Monday, the futures market saw positive numbers the rest of the week. Warm temps predicted for the weekend and into next week which will be a welcome change. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, April 24.
