Compared to last week: Sentiment was largely mixed on few comparable sales. Steer calves seemed to be in higher demand while the bigger feeder steers displayed a lower undertone. Heifers were mixed across all classes, with a good turn out of cattle coming off of short wheat. Average yielding boner cows brought 6.00 higher and no test on high yielding cows. Wheat cattle may continue to come to town as the weather warms up and not much chance of precipitation in the near future. Grass fires have plagued the area recently with the continuing dry weather and plenty of fuel left over from this last summer. Please be aware of any fire hazards.
