As filed

Compared to last week: A higher undertone was noted on steers up to 650 lbs., steers 650-800 lbs. were 6.00-9.00 higher, steers 800-950 were steady to 3.00 higher, steers over 1000 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower. A higher undertone was noted on heifers up to 650 lbs. Only a couple of weight class's to make trend for todays heifers, will call it 650 lbs. and up unevenly steady. Many load lots in todays offering. Demand was good. Over the last two weeks we have had snow and rain, many feeders were caring alot of mud. The next feeder cattle auction will be April 1st, starting at 8:30 am., expecting 4000 head of feeders.
