As filed

*Close* Compared to last week: Current weather conditions have affected the sale numbers therefor trade was light. Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Heifers 850-900 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Calves too lightly tested for an accurate market trend, slightly higher undertone noted. Using a limited test, slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower, bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Overall, demand moderate, quality average.
