Compared to two weeks ago:  Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady.  Very 
good demand for this large offering of feeder cattle and replacement quality 
heifers.  The market was very active on all classes of cattle, whether it was 
the light fall calves, bigger cattle ready for feedyards, or bangs vaccinated 
heifers ready to make into replacement heifers, there were plenty of buyers on 
the seats and on the internet competing heavily.  Flesh condition ranged from 
light hay fed cattle to more moderate flesh cattle that had been fed lightly.  
There is a lot of optimism in the market currently, as cash fed cattle reached 
the 260.00 level this week, yet there is also concern as the cattle futures 
suffered another day of losses.  Next feeder cattle sale will be May 22, 2026.
