First sale in three weeks time, therefore no recent price comparison available. Feeder steers and heifers sold with lower undertones except heifers weighing 650-800 lbs sold with higher undertones. Moderate demand for this large offering of very attractive, high quality long strings of steers in heifers in light to moderate plus flesh. Many full loads and multiple load lots, including one consignment of 975 heifers. Cattle have had to endure a very harsh winter, which carried into spring, resulting in many cattle being in a very attractive flesh condition. Many cattle in light enough flesh for summer grazing. Cattle feeders were shook pretty hard this week after the futures contracts melted down leaving them uncertain of the path forward. The market was fairly active in spite of all the negativity this week. Interest in feeding a heifer, or running her on grass, has increased considerably since the last auction. 88 percent of feeder cattle over 600 lbs. 40 percent of feeder cattle were steers; 60 percent heifers.
