Compared to last week: best test on steers 650 to 900 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 2.00 higher on 750 to 800 and 850 to 900 lbs, 901 to 950 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Best test on heifers 600 to 700 lbs and 750 to 800 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for today's offering of many loads and packages and several strings with best demand seen for light fleshed cattle which have the option to go to grass and replacement quality heifers. Flesh varied again today, from light to heavy, more light fleshed cattle available this week. Overall quality more attractive on this week's offering. Moderate to active market activity today, high grain prices continue to put stress on the market. Some areas have seen some rain this week and producers are hopeful the warmer temperatures forecasted will get the grass started. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 5.
