Good to very good demand for today's large offering of many strings, loads, and packages of both homeraised and backgrounded cattle. Flesh and quality varied but many opportunities to buy attractive quality cattle for both grass and finishing programs, many times in load lots and multiple load lots. An active market which gained strength throughout the day. Much of the offering carried tag as this week has been much warmer and pens are starting to thaw and get sloppy. Value added cattle qualified for drug free programs. Steers made up 54 percent of the feeder supply, 46 percent heifers, 93 percent over 600 lbs. Next feeder cattle sale is next Friday, March 29.
