As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers sold with a lower undertone. Wednesday's lower undertone was due to the rain and snow across the trade area with some areas to receive 10-15" of snow. Trading was active from internet buyers with only a few in house buyers. Most offerings stood with an overnight stand with weigh-up in buyers favor. Next Wednesday, expecting over 6000 head of calves and feeder cattle.
