As filed

Compared to the last tested market two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher with a few weights and classes holding steady. Slaughter cows not tested. Good condition and overall attractive quality boosted the market along with a couple extra buyers making trade very active. Mud, snow and more incoming winter weather didn't really have much impact on this week's sale. Supply moderate, demand good.
