As filed

Compared with two weeks ago, steer offerings 600 and 800 lbs traded steady. 550 lbs Heifers traded 6.00 lower and 600 lbs Heifers traded 2.00 higher. Demand was good with several buyers and an active internet. Cooler weather in the area past few days after last weeks several inches of snow. Pen condition around the area, still not good in local back-grounding pens and feed lots.
