Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 1000 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Best test on heifers 700 to 750 lbs 2.00 higher. Other weight classes of steers and heifers not well compared. Good to very good demand for today's feeder cattle offering featuring quite a few loads and packages as well as a couple of strings. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus. Quality mostly attractive on loads, packages varied from plain to attractive. An active market seen for this offering. The area has finally gotten some rain improving grass conditions and the outlook for turning out livestock. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
