Today's sale rescheduled from Wednesday due to blizzard conditions. A light offering with many producers still digging out from the week, best test on steers 750 to 800 lbs mostly steady, 900 to 950 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Good to very good demand for this offering of many packages and a handful of loads. Grass type cattle continue to see excellent demand. Varied flesh today, but mostly moderate to moderate plus and quality average to attractive. Some dirty hides today from the weather this week. An active market with good attendance even though it was not a regular sale day. Lot of optimism as the fall futures look promising. Lots of snow, wind, and bitter temperatures this past week have been hard on livestock and their care takers. Regular sale on Wednesday, March 1, expecting over 6000 head.
