As filed

Compared to last week: steers 650 to 1000 lbs 1.00 to 5.00 higher except 750 to 800 lbs not well compared, instances up to 8.00 higher on 650 to 750 lbs. More heifers today than last week, best comparison on heifers 900 to 950 lbs 2.00 higher. Good to very good demand for another large offering this week. Many packages, loads, and strings available, including quite a few light fleshed cattle which could fit grass programs, these saw very good demand. Quality comparable to last week with many attractive quality cattle on offer. Flesh was more varied, from light to heavy. An active market seen for this offering. Quite a bit of the area saw rain on Saturday and warmer temps are expected the rest of the week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 19.
