As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 2.00-5.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested however undertones were higher. Demand was good on a light supply which was affected by the Winter weather that moved across parts of the area on Monday. Steers averaged 633 lbs at $141.52/cwt while heifers averaged 519 lbs at $126.71/cwt. The last feeder sale of the year for ORS brought the yearly total to 169,246 head. This was 3.6 percent lower than the 175,606 head a year ago but 4.2 percent higher than the 5 year average of 162,447 head.
