Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale, trends are not available, however, a sharply higher undertone was noted on all feeder classes today. Buyers showed the highest interest in long-weaned, preconditioned cattle with moderate to thin flesh as grazing season is quickly approaching. Fleshier cattle were in lighter demand. Next sale is scheduled for April 28.
