No trends available due to no sale last week because of being closed for winter weather. However good to very god demand noted for all feeder and yearling classes. Strongest demand noted for weaned and preconditioned feeder and yearling classes. Higher undertones noted as well for feeder classes. Good demand noted for slaughter cows and slaughter bulls.
