As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. The beef market has been interrupted by both winter weather and the Chinese coronavirus recently and it's still unknown if the latter issue will truly impact demand or be a short term set back. Quality was up and down at the local market ahead of next week's Annual Angus/Angus Factor Calf and Yearling Sale. Supply light and demand moderate.
