Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers due to last weeks light test, however a much higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand, especially for stocker type cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 higher on a light test. Temperatures have warmed up to the 60's and 70's following last weeks single digit temperatures. Auction receipts are expected to return to normal now that temperatures have returned to seasonal averages and above.
