As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 higher, while bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 lower on a fairly light test. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was light; market activity and buyer interest were slow. Offerings of cattle were very light due to inclement winter weather. Cattle quality was plain. Baby calves ranged 15.00 to 50.00 per head.
