As filed

Another light offering this week with different weight classes than last week, best test was on 600 to 650 lbs heifers mostly steady. Good demand for today's offering of loads and packages which sold on a moderate to active market. Flesh varied, from moderate to heavy. Despite persisting dry conditions, there is quite a bit of interest in cattle which can go to grass. Mostly average to attractive quality cattle in the offering today. Next feeder sale is Friday, May 7, and the annual Birthday Sale is Friday, May 14.
