*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 2.00 higher with most weights not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. Freezing rain across the area kept supplies light while the forecast of sub-zero temperatures kept many at home preparing for the Arctic blast. The market was active as those buyers in attendance worked to square up their loads.
