Compared to last week: best test on steers 850 to 899 lbs 12.00 to 14.00 higher on a narrow comparison. Heifers not well tested today. The majority of today's offering was an attractive string of black steers from one family operation selling in loads and met with very good demand. Flesh condition moderate to moderate plus on this string. A couple packages, including fall calves, on offer and met with good to very good demand. An active market with mostly order buyers in the seats and taking multiple loads when offered. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, April 30, with another string of steers from the same family on offer.
