Compared to last week;On a light test of light cattle a higher under tone was noted on steers up to 850 lbs. Steers over 850 lbs. were 8.00-9.00 higher. On a light test of feeder heifers up to 750 lbs. were unevenly steady. Feeder heifers 750 lbs. and up were 1.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good. A fair amount of load lots in todays offering. The next special feeder cattle sale will be April 23rd, expecting 2000 head of feeder cattle. Starting at 10:00 am
