As filed

A light run of cattle today due to the weather that moved thru the area last night and this morning. Compared to last week there was no comparison on most weight ranges of steers. However, there was a nice run of 850 to 950 lb steers that sold steady to 2.00 higher. There were no good comparisons on the heifers. Receipts were light with moderate demand.
