Compared to two weeks ago: Steers and Heifers both 5.00-8.00 higher. Value Added steers 3.00-4.00 higher while Value Added Heifers traded 6.00-8.00 higher. Extremely cold weather throughout the trade area kept receipts low. Demand good. Quality plain thru attractive, with the majority of the receipts being Value Added cattle. Slaughter cows mostly steady to 2.00 lower. In a light test. Slaughter bulls 9.00 lower also in a light test. A total of 215 cows and bulls sold with 63 percent going to packers.
