Compared to last week: The only price comparison able to be made was on the steers weighing over 1000 lbs which sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. The other weights of steers and all of the heifers were too lightly tested to make an accurate comparison. Moderate to good demand for this lighter offering of feeder cattle. There was a long string of 500 high quality, very attractive, yearling steers in moderate to moderate plus flesh which sold on a fairly active market. Not as many buyers in attendance, few farmer feeders as they work feverishly to get their crops planted. The cattle futures started the morning off higher and managed to close much higher, helping to give the feeder market a little push. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher compared to last Wednesday's sale, bulls steady to weak in a light test. Next week expecting a large offering of feeder cattle for the annual customer appreciation BBQ sale starting at 8:00 am.
