Compared to last week: steers 700 to 1000 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 lower except 850 to 900 lbs not well compared. Heifers 550 to 600 lbs, 650 to 700 lbs, and 750 to 800 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 lower with other weight classes of heifers not well compared today. Moderate to good demand for today's large offering. More finishing type and less grass type cattle this week with more flesh seen on all cattle, from moderate to heavy. Quality varied but mostly average to attractive. Several loads of replacement type heifers in today's offering, with more buyer interest in these this week. One string of steers and heifers enrolled in the NHTC program met with good demand. Dirty hides on the cattle this week as there has been rain and cool, cloudy weather for almost a week. Yards and roads are soft and muddy and there is little interest in buying more cattle and putting them in the mud. A moderate market seen for today's offering. Steers made up 41 percent of the feeder supply, heifers 59 percent, 87 percent over 600 lbs. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, May 8.
