Different weight classes today than at the last feeder cattle sale two weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for today's offering of steers and heifers including a long string of spayed heifers. Most of the cattle sold in loads and strings and were in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Many attractive cattle to choose from, quite a few of which were meant for grass but gained too well over the winter to turn out this spring. An active market with buyers buying multiple loads to fill pens on many occasions. Widespread rain yesterday and today with many chances of rain forecasted for the next week. Grass and crops conditions look very good but some areas are still struggling with water in pastures as the fall and winter were too dry. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
