Compared to 2 weeks ago: Following a week of snow and ice. Receipts are too few to establish a trend, however a much higher undertone is noted on both steers and heifers. Quality good. Demand good. Slaughter cows 1.00 higher in a light test. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 higher, also in a light test. A total of 160 cows and bulls sold with 47 percent going to packers.
