Good demand for calves today, thin fleshed, black hided calves saw very good demand. Quite a few loads and many packages on offer, the majority being home raised and average to attractive in quality. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. An active market with most of the normal crowd of buyers and farmer feeders attending. A winter storm hit the southern part of the state and into MN and IA the last couple of days dumping a couple feet of snow. This has caused travel issues as some roads are still closed and conditions are still icy and snow packed. This has been a tough winter so far for producers and livestock.
