Compared to last week there were more feeders to market this week. There is a break in the weather and most ranchers moved feeders to market this week ahead of another predicted storm next week. Due to low numbers of feeders last week it was hard to come up with a comparison but overall it was a mixed market this week with the more attractive feeders bringing a premium over the less attractive offering of steers and heifers. New buyers in attendance today and looking for feeders to go on pasture this summer. Buyer demand was very good for the load lots and quality strings of feeders today and only moderate on the less attractive feeders.
