As filed

Compared to last week there was no good comparison on steers under 650 lbs. 650 to 750 lb steers sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower and steers 750 to 950 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. The 500 to 550 lb heifers sold 6.00 lower, 650 to 700 lb heifers sold 5.00 lower, and 750 to 850 heifers sold 8.00 to 9.00 lower. The receipts were light and the demand was light to moderate. Part of the reason the receipts were lower was due to the frigid temperatures and light snow this morning.
