Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 600 to 750 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Best test on heifers 550 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering of packages and loads. A variety of flesh offered again this week, from light to moderate plus. Many cattle which could go to summer grass were included in today's offering. Quality was mostly attractive today. An active market for this offering with both buyers and farmer feeders in the seats. Some of the state saw snowfall yesterday with amounts varying greatly depending on location. Road conditions mostly back to normal today. Bred cattle sale next Thursday, March 18, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, March 25, featuring many replacement quality heifers.
