As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00-6.00 lower. The demand for feeder calves was very uneven with the cold temperatures and snow out west and what is forecasted locally buyers were very specific on their purchases. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.
