Yearlings sold steady to firm. A load of 950 lb steers was on hand but no recent price comparison is available. Demand was good to very good with grass finally here and some warm weather in the forecast. Also, some of the last hard weaned yearlings are making their way to town and buyers are aware those kind won’t be available much longer. Supply was light. The feeder offering consisted of near 56 percent steers and bulls and 44 percent heifers with 56 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 11 percent of the offering. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher and slaughter bulls 5.00-8.00 higher to gain back last weeks losses.
