Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good for calves and feeders with good demand for pairs. Nebraska feedlots traded live sales from 190.00 to 193.00 and dressed sales from 301.00 to 309.00 on Friday afternoon. Spotty rain showers across the area continues to delay corn and soybean planting along with first cutting of alfalfa. Warmer weather and more sunshine is in the forecast and should allow many producers to wrap of spring plantings and start baling some hay.
