Compared to last week: Very few light steers for today. Feeder steers 800-850 lbs. sold steady. Lower undertone on steers 850 lbs. and up. A unevenly steady undertone was noted on heifers up to 850 lbs. Heifers 850-950 lbs. sold 1.00-3.00 lower. Grain markets are up again today. A few load lots for today. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be May 13th, expecting 3000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
