Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trends available due to the market being closed the previous two weeks for inclement winter weather. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were very light due to ongoing wet weather leaving pastures extremely muddy and cattle difficult to move. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 20.00 to 40.00 per head.
