Several loads and packages of replacement heifers offered again this week, demand for these is being pressured a bit by the dry conditions the area is experiencing. Flesh similar to last week, from light to moderate plus, with many light fleshed, grass type cattle available again this week. An active market for this offering which strengthened throughout the day today. Warm temperatures expected for the rest of the week and weekend with little chance of moisture. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, April 7, expecting another large offering of 6000 plus.
