As filed

Compared to last week: steers 600 to 900 lbs mostly steady except 801 to 850 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, instances up to 5.00 lower on 700 to 800 lbs. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs mostly steady, 701 to 750 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for another large offering this week. Light fleshed cattle suitable for grass and a handful of replacement quality heifers saw very good demand. Many packages, loads, and strings of both home raised and backgrounded cattle available today. Similar to last week, flesh varied, from light to moderate plus with some heavy flesh seen at times. Quality varied a little more than last week, from plain to attractive. An active market with many buyers and some farmer feeders in the seats today. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, March 12.
