No recent comparison last sale report was three weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded on a higher undertone. Demand was good. A fair amount of load lots in today's offering with many quality replacement heifers also in the offering. Quality was mostly attractive with feeders in light to moderate flesh. Next sale is scheduled for April 23, 2020.
