As filed

First sale in two weeks due to winter snow storm, special calf, yearling and bred cow sale: slaughter cows and bulls on a light offering mostly steady with bulls 3.00-7.00 lower. No comparisons available on feeder calves for a good market test, heifers mostly steady with steers under pressure. Demand good to moderate with good participation for bred cow sale.
