Correction: 400 lb feeder dairy calf deleted

Compared to last week, Steers sold firm on a light test this week, with Heifers selling steady on a light test this week. No comparison for Dairy Steers, Dairy Heifers or Bulls due to limited comparable lots. Cows sold weak on a light test. Limited receipts this week are due to winter weather conditions during the sale. Buyer attendance was light, with moderate demand on a light to moderate supply of cattle. Feeder dairy calves sold strong. Buyer demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply for the feeder dairy calf sale.
