Compared to the last comparable sale on 3/12/20: Feeder steers and heifers sold 13.00 to as much as 20.00 higher. Trade activity was moderate to good on good demand. Markets rebounded throughout most of the week, regaining some heavy losses over the past couple of weeks. Pastures are in good shape with warmer spring like temperatures in the forecast. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher.
