Compared to last week: different weight classes this week compared to last week, best test on steers 700 to 750 lbs mostly steady with an instance 5.00 higher. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages and loads. Cattle in light flesh which may be suitable for summer grass saw excellent demand. Flesh varied quite a bit today, from light to heavy flesh at times. Quality varied more this week than last week, mostly average to attractive quality today. An active market with many buyers and some farmer feeders and bull breeders in the seats today. The area saw above normal temperatures this week with more of this kind of weather in the forecast for the next week or more. Bred cattle sale next Thursday, March 4, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, March 11.
