Good attendance today for the Spring Feeder Special Sale, trade active throughout for all types. Very similar head run to last year. Largest amount of the offering were shoulder type #2 muscled cattle, many coming off a quality winter feeding program and in the right condition to turn out on grass with expected gains. Warm conditions and increasing pasture growth in N. West Virginia pushing local demand. Not a good apple to apples comparison to last reported due to supply volume. However, looking at regional trends of the last week, demand for Feeder Steers was softer on the lighter end of the run, spot on steady for 5 and light 6 weights, then contracting a bit for heavier Steers. Feeder Heifers were steady to $5 higher on the lighter weight breaks while lower for the six and seven weights. A good part of the supply was represented as vaccinated.
