Compared to last week: steers 600 to 950 lbs mostly steady. Heifers not well compared today as last weeks heifers were mostly replacement quality heifers sold by the head. Moderate to good demand for this offering of packages and loads which sold on a moderate market. Varied flesh again this week but less flesh overall on the cattle than last week. Quality less attractive than recent weeks with more plain to average cattle included in today's offering. The area received a nice rain at the beginning of the week and there were a couple of cancellations due to muddy road conditions. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 13.
