As filed

Compared to last week: With limited receipts the best test seen on feeder steers 700-800 lbs 13.00 -15.00 lower. Feeder heifers 650-700 & 750-800 lbs 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand was moderate. Several days of losses on the CME Feeder and Live Futures this week put pressure on the market today with many producers canceling their consignments. Next sale is scheduled for March 5,2020.
