As filed

Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers over 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Light weight calves traded with a lower undertone on a light supply. Cold temperatures and icy lanes and secondary roads limited receipts as some producers chose to wait a week or two for better weather conditions. Demand moderate and supply light.
