Compared to last week; Last week the auction saw very light numbers of all class's of cattle. A higher under tone on lighter steers. Feeder steers 900-950 lbs. were 11.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 8.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good with a house full of buyers. Many large lots for todays auction. The next special feeder cattle auction will be April 2nd, expecting 4000 head of cattle, starting at 9:00 am.
