As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Some snow in the trade area with moderate to heavy snow in other receiving areas along with muddy pen conditions made the cattle market lower than the previous test. Several load lots and packages of long time weaned, fully vaccinated cattle were sold by 30 contestants vying for the title of Greater Midwest Livestock Auctioneer Champion. Demand was moderate to good from in house and internet buyers throughout the day. February 3 will be the next special calf and feeder sale.
