Compared to last week: Steer and heifers over 450 lbs traded 2.00-6.00 higher, under 450 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Heavy rains and much colder temperatures hampered livestock movement. Quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower on limited offerings. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested for a trend.
