Compared to last week; For todays auction we had a light run of steers and heifers. Comparison not applicable, a lower 2.00-3.00 undertone was noted. One consignment of light fleshed steers 900-950 lbs. sold 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold steady to 1.00 lower on light trade. Demand was moderate. The next special feeder cattle auction will be March 26th, expecting 4000 head of cattle, starting at 9:00 am
