As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter run of steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Supply was moderate to light following a couple weeks of heavy receipts and the extreme cold discouraged some movement of cattle. However, a few reputation consignments of long weaned cattle were offered and found good demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
