As filed

Very limited supply of choice cattle. Weights continue to decrease due to calf feds are showing up and the yearling supply continues to decrease. The calf feds are lacking choice grades due to the severe winter. The limited supply of choice steers were $5.00 to $7.00 lower and the choice heifers were $5.00 to $6.00 lower.
