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

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.
