Different weight classes today than last week so an accurate price trend can not be established, lower undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Moderate to good demand for this offering of mostly packages and a couple loads. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Several consignments in town due to continuing dry conditions, these were mostly replacement heifers. Moderate market activity today with this weeks increases in corn prices and lack of moisture to start grass all taking their toll on the market. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, April 30.
