Compared to last week: Light feeder steers were dollars higher on a light test . Steers 650-900 lbs. were 4.00-10.00 higher. Light feeder heifers were unevenly steady at 1.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Heifers 800- 950 lbs. were 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good. A fair amount of load lots in todays offering. The next special feeder cattle sale will be April 16th, expecting 3000 head of cattle, starting at 9:00 am.
