Reporter comment USDA

As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Several Load Lots and Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers. Attractive Cattle with a favorable weigh-up sold on a Strong, Active Market while cattle with tag and fill sold on a Slow Market. The drought in this area continues which has put a damper on the grass cattle market. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is May 25.
