As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00-6.00 higher compared to last week on limited receipts both weeks. No accurate comparison on heifers under 500 lbs., offerings over 500 lbs. 5.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to strong, no comparison on bulls due to very limited receipts. A winter storm limiting receipts again this week with snow and ice limiting cattle work and causing unsafe road conditions. Trade and demand moderate to good considering conditions.
