Above average attendance for this week's sale.  Receipts are up from last week 
with a significant increase in the Feeder Cattle run.  No market test on 
Feeders due to last week's lighter run but prices followed regional and 
nationwide trends.  Many quality harder fleshed Steers and Heifers coming off a 
winter-feeding program in good shape for turn out.  Trade active throughout, 
competitive demand on young Cow Calf pairs.  Slaughter Cattle slightly higher 
this week.
