As filed

Compared to last week: This weeks replacement heifer special brought a price trend of 5.00 - 10.00 higher in the comparable margins of 500 - 750 pounds. The margin for steers was too narrow to compare. The long and short strings of heifers were of attractive condition creating a rapid absorption of offerings. The market activity was moderate today with a mix of breeds offered of feeder cattle. Next sale is May 15, 2020.
