Compared to last week:  steers 750 to 1049 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher except 800 
to 849 lbs not well compared, instances up to 15.00 higher on 750 to 799 lbs.  
Best test on heifers 750 to 799 lbs 10.00 to 13.00 higher on a narrow 
comparison.  Very good demand for all classes of cattle today.   Many finishing 
type cattle on offer again this week, most selling in loads and strings, in 
moderate to heavy flesh.  Quality on loads mostly average to attractive, more 
plain to average cattle featured in packages.  An active market with buyers 
eager to own cattle as cash fat cattle saw sales of 257.00 earlier in the week 
and the futures complex has shown strong momentum this week as well.  There is 
much enthusiasm for the fall marketing season again and buyers are determined 
to have cattle on hand.  Cooler weather this week with some much needed 
rainfall in some areas.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, May 6.
