As filed

Compared to last week: many more steers today than last week with best test on steers 600 to 650 lbs mostly steady and 700 to 750 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers 650 to 900 lbs mostly steady with instances 2.00 lower. Several strings of backgrounded cattle as well as loads and packages of home raised cattle, including several consignments of replacement quality heifers, made up today's large offering which was met with moderate to good demand. Quality similar to last week with many attractive quality cattle to choose from. Slightly more flesh on the offering than last week with more cattle in moderate plus flesh, some heavy flesh at times. Cattle are mostly clean hided as lot conditions are dry right now. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. Some field work has started as the weather has been dry and temps warming up. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, April 29.
