The last reported feeder sale was two weeks ago and consisted of yearlings. Todays sale consisted of about half yearlings and half spring calves. No comparison will be made this week due to numbers being low in most weights. Buyer demand was very good for the heavier weight steers and heifers. Demand for the lighter weight spring feeders was modest and could be due to this being the first week with any spring calves in the offering. It is anticipated that with the pastures drying up that from now on there will be larger numbers of spring calves coming to market.
