As filed

Compared to last week: Steers over 700lbs had a higher undertone noted, under 700lbs lower undertone noted but to light a test to call a trend. Heifers a lower undertone noted across all weight classes. A winter storm pasted through on Friday leaving 3-6 inches of snow and freezing temperatures across the trading area, limiting receipts. Today's offering included cattle from Angus Link and are denoted with the description Value-Added.
