As filed

Last reported sale three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Moderate to good demand for today's offering with best demand seen for load lots. Quality varied today, from plain to attractive, many plain to average quality packages on offer. Many producers are emptying pens out before calving. Flesh varied as well, but mostly moderate to moderate plus. A moderate market with a more limited crowd of buyers and farmer feeders attending the auction today. Cooler weather has moved into the area and snow is possible for the weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, March 10.
