As filed

First reported sale in a month, no recent price comparison available, steady to higher undertones prevailed. A very large offering of high quality steers and heifers, in a light, attractive, flesh condition. Many long strings, including full load lots, along with numerous smaller consignments that allowed buyers plenty of selection to make full loads. The market was incredibly active, demand was good but quickly turned very good as the cattle futures reversed their losses and swung 2.00 from their lows and closed higher. The seats were full of buyers who were feeling the pressure to get their grass cattle needs secured as there are few opportunities left as supplies are dwindling quickly. These backgrounders were aggressive in their bidding and pushed the market higher as they are betting on the market rising back up to it's levels before it took the recent 20.00 plunge. Cattle feeders are much more cautious, as they are dealing with a disappointing fat cattle market, 185.00 so far this week, and a lack luster futures market. Next feeder cattle sale will be April 25, 2024.
