Too light an offering today to compare to two weeks ago and develop an accurate trend. Moderate to good demand for just a few packages and a couple loads of mostly heifers with best demand seen for the loads of replacement quality heifers. Quality mostly attractive and flesh mostly moderate overall. Some tag on the cattle today as lots continue to thaw out and get sloppy. A much lighter offering than expected as the roller coaster futures markets of the last few weeks have many producers holding on to their cattle and hoping for a better and more stable market. At the time of this writing, both live and feeder cattle futures are up the limit. A moderate market seen for today's offering with a very limited crowd attending the sale. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, April 2.
