As filed

Compared to last week, the higher quality groups of steers sold steady to 3.00 higher and heifers traded uneven with some calves under 500 lbs up to 5.00 higher and those over 500 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good, best for steers, but was affected by the muddy conditions, snow to the north and incoming winter storm forecast for Tuesday evening. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with a steady to higher undertone when compared to two weeks ago.
