Compared to last week: best test on steers 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady, 700 to 799 lbs 4.00 to 9.00 lower, 800 to 849 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 550 to 699 lbs 3.00 to 8.00 higher except 600 to 649 lbs not well compared, 700 to 749 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 lower, 750 to 799 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering, demand remains best for cattle with potential to go to grass. Many more packages and less loads featured this week. Quality varied, especially on packages, from plain to attractive. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate plus today. An active market seen for this offering. Tthe weather has finally turned around and field work has started in the area. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 10.
