As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was 4 weeks ago, therefore no comparison may be made. Good Demand for several strings, load lots, and many packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. The entire Supply was Home Raised, weaned, and fully vaccinated with most Offerings carrying Light to Moderate Flesh and suitable for grass with the balance being heavier, Moderate to Moderate Plus Flesh and headed for the Feedyard. Much of the area has received good Spring moisture, encouraging some optimism for a productive grazing season. Next Feeder Cattle Sale May 14.
