Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 849 lbs and 900 to 999 lbs 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Best test on heifers 700 to 749 lbs and 800 to 849 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower with instances up to 7.00 lower on 800 to 849 lbs, 750 to 799 lbs mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for today's offering featuring several strings of backgrounded cattle and loads and packages of home raised cattle. More flesh overall this week and less grass or backgrounding type cattle than last week with buyers paying more attention to flesh condition. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive. A few consignments of replacement type heifers offered, quite a few of these are going out to feed and not breed. Cattle had some mud on them today as it has rained several days in the last week and yards are muddy. A moderate to active market with buyers exhibiting more caution this week as the last couple days on the board have been rough. Also, road and lot conditions are less than ideal this week for moving and adding cattle. More rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 8.
