Different weight classes than last week so an accurate price trend can not be established, lower undertones noted on 800 to 849 lbs. Today's offering was one long string of backgrounded black steers from one family operation, the same operation as last week. These attractive cattle were met with very good demand with best demand seen for the lightest load which had the potential to go to grass. Flesh condition the same as last week, moderate to moderate plus. An active market with buyers taking multiple or all loads of one cut to fill pens quickly. This area received much needed moisture at the beginning of the week, and combined with warmer temps, has given the grass a nice start. Mostly small grain in the ground so far with most farmers just getting a good start on corn. No sale next week due to construction projects, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
