Springfield livestock salesThe Springfield Livestock Marketing Center, Springfield, Mo., reported receipts of 1,463 head March 5, compared to 1,554 head last week and 2,579 head last year, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture-USDA Market News Service, Jefferson City, MO. Compared to last week, steers and heifers were $2 to $5 lower, Holsteins under 550 pounds were steady, and over 550 pounds were $1 to $3 lower on a light test. Demand and supply were moderate.
