As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, on comparable offerings of steers sold steady to 4.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good, especially for big cattle going to the feedlot. Nice rain in the trade area the last two weeks will help green early season grass this spring. The down side to this moisture, is a lot of cattle displayed mud due to the very wet pen conditions and receipts were shorten on Wednesday due to muddy road conditions in the trade area. Wednesday March 31, will be a special calf and feeder auction.
