Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly firm to 3.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was attractive with the majority of the consignments consisting of load lots of yearlings. A cold front moved back into the area bringing some snow flurries and temperatures in the 20's.
