Compared to last week: steers 650 to 700 lbs, 801 to 850 lbs, and 951 to 1000 lbs mostly steady, 751 to 800 lbs and 851 to 950 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, 701 to 750 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, 700 to 750 lbs and 800 to 850 lbs mostly steady. Another large offering this week with several strings of backgrounded cattle as well as many packages and loads of home raised cattle, all met with good demand. More flesh overall on today's offering, most cattle in moderate to heavy flesh. Less light fleshed cattle for grass in today's offering than last week. Similar quality to last week, mostly average to attractive. An active market with many buyers and a few farmer feeders attending the sale today. This area received rain yesterday and today which was a very welcome sight as it has been terribly dry here. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, April 14.
