As filed

First reported feeder cattle sale for several weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good demand for this offering of yearlings selling in loads and packages. Flesh condition varied with cattle coming both off grass and out of yards, mostly light to moderate plus. Quite a few home raised cattle today, many of these tested open heifers, quality mostly average to attractive. Moderate to active market activity for this offering. A light offering of spring calves expected for next Thursday, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
