Too light an offering today to compare to two weeks ago and develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Good to very good demand for this light offering featuring mostly packages and just a couple loads. Overall quality more attractive than two weeks ago, mostly average to attractive today. Flesh varied, but mostly moderate to moderate plus. Cattle clean hided today even though pens and yards have gotten quite sloppy. An active market despite a few less buyers and farmer feeders attending the sale. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, April 20.
