Compared to the low number of feeders offered last week a comparison cannot be made this week. The quality strings of yearlings and load lots today compared to prices reported two weeks ago. Todays offering consisted of mostly yearlings right off the grass in moderate flesh condition. A small number of spring calves were offered today and there was very good demand for them. The good pasture conditions and harvesting is causing most sellers to hold onto their spring calves at this time. Expecting more spring calves next week.
