Compared to last week: steers 700 to 749 lbs and 900 to 949 lbs 4.00 to 10.00 higher, 800 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs mostly steady, 750 to 799 lbs not well compared. Best test on heifers 700 to 749 lbs mostly steady, 750 to 799 lbs 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Another large offering of feeder cattle this week. Similar to last week, many sold in loads and strings but there were also many packages this week. Very good demand for all classes of cattle, especially those fitting grass programs as turn out time is almost upon us. Flesh condition varied, from light to heavy with some tag on the cattle at times as yards are still muddy from the snow and rain of Easter week. Many attractive cattle again this week, including several loads of replacements heading back to the country. An active market with lots of interest in filling pens, however, buyers preferred to pick and choose through multiple loads most of the time. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, April 22.
