As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady with a few instances of 1.00 to 2.00 higher on 800-900 pound feeder cattle. Steers calves sold unevenly steady on comparable trades and heifer calves sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Winter weather moving into the region seemed to be a factor on the calf market.
