Compared to last week: best test on steers 700 to 800 lbs mostly steady. Other weight classes of steers and heifers not well compared. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring many packages and quite a few loads again this week. Quality similar to last week, from average to attractive for the most part. Flesh varied, from light to some heavy flesh at times. Cattle suitable for grass continue to see very good demand. An active market for the offering. Cold today and tonight with much warmer weather expected for the weekend and into next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, March 18.
