Last reported feeder cattle sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for load lots featured in today's offering, especially those light and green enough for grass. Moderate to good demand for packages as there were quite a few plainer quality packages on offer. A few consignments of fall calves on offer, both weaned and off the cow. Flesh condition ranged from light to moderate plus with some fill at times. A mostly active market with both buyers and farmer feeders in the seats. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, April 23, featuring 1200 black steers from one family operation.
