Compared to last week: steers 600 to 650 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 651 to 950 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 higher except 750 to 800 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Best test on heifers 600 to 750 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's large offering which included loads and packages of home raised cattle and several strings of backgrounded cattle. Grass type cattle continue to be very sought after, grass conditions look promising if the snow ever leaves. Quality similar to last week, mostly average to attractive. Flesh varied, from light to heavy. Less discrimination on color and flesh today as buyers seemed determined to own cattle. An active market which got stronger throughout the day. Weather conditions for the area remain colder than normal with chances of more snow near the end of the week. Many producers are desperate to get cattle off the farm and sold as pens keep filling with snow that will soon be mud and they are needing space to calve. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, April 5.
