As filed

Todays sale consisted of many yearlings as well as spring calves. Compared to last week feeder steers traded lower today with 600 to 750 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 600 lbs. traded 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand for todays offering was moderate for the run of unweaned spring calves.. The weather report of a coming blizzard to the area had buyers reluctant to push the market today.
