Compared to last week: a much lighter offering than expected with most weight classes not well compared today, steady to higher undertones noted. Mostly packages and just a couple loads today, in varied flesh from light to heavy. Quality average to attractive. Some tag again this week as lots continue to thaw and get muddy. A mostly active market for this lighter offering with quite a few farmer feeders coming out today as well as the normal crowd of order buyers. The plunging futures conditions the past couple weeks have many producers waiting for things to settle down before they try to bring their cattle to town. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, March 25, expecting a larger run of feeders.
