As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower, with the exception of 400-500 pound calves which traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. Receipts were lighter today due to the winter storm that moved across the region Monday into Tuesday. However, the majority of the trading region is still in need of moisture.
