higher, steers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were steady, steers from 750 lbs to 899 
lbs were 5.00 to 7.00 lower with instances of 10.00 lower:  Heifer from 600 lbs 
to 649 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 lower, heifers from 650 lbs to 699 lbs were 
generally steady, heifers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 
heifers from 800 lbs to 849 lbs were steady to 3.00 lower. A big run of feeder 
cattle and replacement heifers for todays auction.  Good to very good demand 
for todays offering that consisted of mostly home raised fall calves, 
backgrounded feeders and replacement heifers. An active market on all classes 
with order buyers and farmer feeders competing with internet buyers.  Several 
strings of front end replacement heifers garnered plenty of interest with the 
winning bidder giving over $4,300 per head for some top notch heifers.  Flesh 
condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle that were running out on 
pasture to moderate plus coming out of a grow yard.  Several strings offered in 
multiple loads with plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads. 
Falll calf consignments were full vaccinated and right off the cow. The next 
feeder sale is Friday, May 8, 2026.
