offering that consisted of several strings offered in multiple loads with 
plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads out of. Flesh 
condition ranged form light fleshed hay feed cattle that were running out on 
pasture to moderate plus backgrounded cattle.  An active market as internet 
buyers and order buyers were competing to fill orders.  A large offering of 
replacement heifers were met with good demand.  Futures market had another 
positive day.  Warmer than normal weather has allowed spring field work to 
begin.  Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, April 10, 2026.
