Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 650 to 699 lbs and heifers 650 to 699 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher with other weight classes not well compared. Good demand for this lighter offering made up of many packages and a handful of loads. Most of the cattle were home raised and in light to moderate flesh with some fill seen at times. Quality varied, especially on packages. Many producers are getting ready to calve and cleaning out any cattle held over to make room. A moderate to active market with a few less buyers and farmer feeders attending the sale today. The weather has stayed mostly dry and warm for this time of year making it easy to keep cattle in good condition. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
