Compared to last week: steers of different weight classes than last week with best test on steers 700 to 750 lbs and 850 to 950 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Best test on heifers 550 to 750 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering. Many packages and loads featured, most of the cattle today were home raised. Flesh varied again this week, from light to moderate plus, many light fleshed cattle which could fit grass programs were available again this week. Slightly less demand for replacements today as quality was not as attractive as seen in previous weeks. An active market seen for this offering with buyers taking multiple loads of cattle when offered. Some of the state saw some rain yesterday, however much of the area is very dry and this is a concern as grass time gets closer. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, March 31.
