As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers under 650 lbs sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher, over 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers sold steady. Demand was good for grass type cattle and moderate to good for feeders. Heavy supply of cattle this week due to the bitter cold the last two weeks. Sunshine and sharply warmer temperatures this week has made pens really muddy from melting snow. Quite a few lots of cattle displayed a lot of tag (mud) throughout the day. Next week, March 3, will be a special calf and feeder auction expecting around 3000 head.
