As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were trending lower based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 1.00 higher. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts today. A wide spread freezing rain storm was a contributing factor towards lighter receipts at the auction today.
