Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Too few cattle this week to compare to last week's much larger offering and develop an accurate trend. Moderate to good demand for this light offering featuring one string of heifers, a couple loads, and a handful of packages. Cattle in light enough weight classes and flesh condition to go to grass saw the best demand. Flesh varied, but mostly moderate to heavy. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. Lack of moisture in this part of the country remains a concern. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, April 23.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
