No Feeder Cattle Sale last week, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers 550 to 600 6.00 lower, 650 to 700 4.00 lower, 700 to 800 Steady, Feeder Heifers 550 to 600 2.00 lower, 650 to 700 5.00 lower, 700 to 750 Steady, 750 to 800 2.00 lower. Good Demand for several load lots and many packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Much of the Supply carried Light to Moderate Flesh, some showed evidence of some fill and there continues to be quite a few Bangs Vaccinated Heifers as producers make drought management decisions. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is May 10.
