Compared to last week: best test on steers 700 to 749 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher and 800 to 849 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 650 to 699 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 700 to 799 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring a couple of strings and many loads and packages including several consignments of replacement quality heifers. Mixed quality again this week, especially on packages, overall quality more attractive than last week. Flesh varied, from light to some heavy flesh at times, as well as some tag from muddy yards. An active market with most of the normal crowd of buyers attending, more farmer feeders are getting into the field and fixing fence as the weather has been good. Most of the area got a nice rain last weekend and more rain forecasted for the next few days. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 17.
