As filed

On a light test of feeders today feeder steers and heifers both were trending 10.00 to 20.00 lower. The winter storm that is forcast to effect the area starting on Friday with frigid temperatures for an extended period and heavy snowfall excpected for most of the region had buyers hesitant to bid. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 9.00 lower and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was light and demand was light with less than normal buyer attendence.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
