As filed

Compared to last week slaughter heifers were mostly steady and no slaughter steers this week. Cows were 1.00 to 5.00 lower with a light test and bulls sharply lower with also a light offering. A light test of feeder calves today to compare. A very light offering this week due to weather conditions and the Holidays.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
