As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 3.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 800 pounds 4.00-8.00 lower, over 800 pounds 2.00-7.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady on lesser quality cattle. Demand good for feeders coming off of wheat. Quality average on all classes of cattle with few attractive. The temperatures are warming up and the wind has slowed, but still no forecasted precipitation in our area. Burn bans remain in effect.
