Compared to last week: Steers from 600 lbs to 699 lbs were 6.00 to 10.00 higher, steers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were steady to 6.00 lower, steers from 750 lbs to 899 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher; heifers from 500 lbs to 599 lbs and 650 lbs to 749 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, heifers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower, heifers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, no other comparisons available. Good to very good demand for todays large offering of feeder cattle and replacement heifers. Best demand for hay fed cattle that are suited for summer grazing operations. Several long strings of reputation cattle gave buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads of one owner cattle together. Most consignments were home raised, fully preconditioned and long timed weaned. Several consignments of replacement heifers were met with good demand, but the majority of the heifers continue to go to a feed yard. An active market with a house full of buyers and sellers competing with internet buyers made for a very active market. Some cattle continue to carry some tag as some pen conditions are slow to dry. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus cattle coming out of grow yards. Next feeder sale is Friday, March 8, 2024
