As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Still a lot of uncertainty in regards to the coronavirus that has wreaked havoc on commodity markets the last several weeks but there is evidence the last few days of some stabilitzation. The local cash trade was stronger than some expected given the losses in the beef sector since the last sale but demand good for any light grazing cattle, moderate for heavier weights. Supply light.
