As filed

Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher on a light test, steers over 500 lbs steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs 15.00-25.00 higher, with feeder heifers over 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. Supply still limited by slick road conditions, however the ice and snow will turn into mud by the end of the week as temperatures are forecast to stay above the freezing point for the next couple of weeks. Demand and supply moderate.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
