Too few cattle two weeks ago to compare to today and develop an accurate price trend, lower undertones noted. Moderate demand for this offering of loads and packages with best demand seen for several loads and packages of replacement quality heifers from reputation outfits and some green cattle that could fit grass programs. Quality mostly average to attractive today and flesh varied but mostly moderate to moderate plus overall. Moderate market activity today with a smaller crowd of order buyers and a few producers bidding on cattle. The area is receiving some winter weather today which has made travel difficult in some areas. The last few days have been brutal on the live and feeder cattle futures. Today was another day of large losses with live cattle now well below 1.00 for the rest of 2020. Feeders are very reluctant to procure more cattle in these uncertain times. This auction plans on having a feeder cattle sale next Thursday, April 9, but watch local listings to be certain.
