Compared to last week: best test on steers 750 to 950 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Best test on heifers 600 to 700 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering which featured quite a few loads and multiple loads as well as some packages. Lots of attractive quality cattle to choose from again this week, both home raised and back grounded cattle offered. An active market today despite another round of winter weather today with much of the area seeing blizzard conditions. Icy road conditions and blowing snow as well as large accumulations for some areas with more snow predicted for next week. Many producers are calving in these difficult conditions. No sale next week due to Good Friday, next feeder sale is Friday, April 14. Have a very Happy Easter!
