No sale last week due to Memorial Day and too few cattle today to compare to the large offering two weeks ago and develop an accurate price trend. Good to very good demand for this light offering. Quite a few loads available plus packages to fill loads, many of these light and green enough for grass. Recent moisture has relieved much of the concern over grass conditions and producers are back to wanting cattle to fill pastures. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate plus today with some tag on the cattle at times due to the recent rains. An active market with a full house of buyers, farmer feeder and producers interested in filling pens and pastures with feeder cattle, replacement heifers, and pairs. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
