sold mostly steady with firm undertones evident. Heifers over
650 lbs mostly steady with firm undertones noted. Demand was
moderate to good, as there were fewer buyers in attendence today
than seen last week. Flesh condition continues to be mostly
moderate to moderate plus, with a couple consignments in lighter
flesh which were met with good demand. Many long strings and load

of the state. Feeder cattle were 56 percent steers, 44 percent
heifers; 98 percent weighing over 600 lbs. Sale next Thursday
May 10th, with 5,000 head expected.
