Compared to last week: The only good comparison for feeder steers were those over 850 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher, other weights too lightly tested. Feeder heifers 700-800 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher, 850-900 lbs 4.00 higher, other weights not well compared. The market was very active on the light steers and heifers offered, the offering was limited but there were ample buyers competing heavily for this class of cattle, quality was uneven and flesh condition was as well. A nice offering of strings of yearlings offered in load lots and multiple load lots, the market was active as cash fat cattle climbed back up to 215.00 and cattle feeders are eager to refill their empty pens. A beautiful spring day allowing farmers to get in the field with some welcomed rain in the forecast for later in the week, yet there were still plenty of buyers on the seats.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $359.91, median $414.58 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
