As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with definite higher undertones. Due to intense frigid temperatures last week there were several cancellations that rolled over into this week making receipts much larger this week. Demand for this very attractive offering of cattle was very good. Farmer buyers were very active this week. Flesh conditions were good to heavy. CME Live Cattle Market was pretty flat today. Slaughter cows sold with lower undertones in a light test. Bulls to light to give a meaningful comparison.
