As filed

Not enough comparable offerings this week for a market comparison. Demand was moderate for the short supply or fresh calves and yearling feeders. Several consignments of calves along with some light weight yearlings came from high elevations and some out of the hi "desert" areas. Bulk of the fresh calves had branding time shots. Light rain in the trade area overnight with temperatures in the mid 40's on Tuesday.
