Receipts: 980 Last Week: 1687 Year Ago: 524 Compared to last week, a few sales of comparable type and kind sold with a steady undertone. Overall the quality wasn’t as attractive as the last few weeks and several consignments of bulls and un-weaned calves were brought to town. Demand was moderate. With the warmer dryer weather, farmers and ranchers have been busy in the field and pastures putting on fertilizer and taking care of other spring duties that everyone has been itching to do. Supply was light to moderate. The feeder offering consisted of 49 percent steers and bulls and 51 percent heifers with 34 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 23 percent of the offering. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 lower.
