Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 850 lbs and 901 to 950 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, 851 to 900 lbs mostly steady. Heifers in different weight classes today than last week and not well compared. Good demand for today's offering of several strings and many packages, including some packages of fall calves, both weaned and unweaned. Quality today mostly average to attractive, with much of the offering being homeraised. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Some tag on the cattle, but most were clean hided as the weather has greatly improved and pens have had a chance to dry out. An active market seen for today's offering with mostly buyers attending the auction. Producers are busy trying to get as much field work done as possible before the rain predicted for the weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, May 22.
