As filed

Compared to last week: Freezing rain and snow across the trade area kept receipts low. Steer calves mostly steady. Feeder steers 4.00-6.00 lower, in a light test. Heifers 7.00-9.00 lower also in a light test. Demand good. Quality average thru good. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 higher, in a light test. Slaughter bulls had too few receipts to establish a trend. A total of 255 cows and bulls sold with 51 percent going to packers.
