Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No sale last week due to Good Friday and different weight classes from two weeks ago and today to compare and develop an accurate price trend. Good to very good demand for load lots offered today, moderate to good demand for packages, depending on quality which varied from plain to attractive. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus today with some heavy flesh seen at times. An active market with both buyers and farmer feeders in the seats. Some of the cattle showed tag today as North Dakota saw large amounts of snow last week which is melting and making muddy yards. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, April 29.
