Compared to last week:  different weight classes of steers than last week so no 
price trend can be established, lower undertones noted on steers.  Best test on 
heifers 700 to 799 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher on a narrow comparison.  Good to 
very good demand for all classes of cattle today.  Quite a few strings and 
loads of finishing type cattle on offer as well as many packages, with many of 
the packages being grass or backgrounding types. Flesh condition varied, from 
light to heavy with some fill on the cattle at times.  Quality mostly average 
to attractive this week.  An active market with the recent volatility on the 
futures complex dampening some of the previous weeks' enthusiasm.  Next feeder 
cattle sale is Friday, April 24.
