As filed

Compared to last week, a light run this week due to 3-5 inches of snow in the trade area on Sunday but and active market on the good quality weaned calves and yearlings on offer. A light test of 400-500 lb steer calves sold firm to 2.00 higher with 550-600 lb steers trading firm to 5.00 higher on a light test and yearling steers over 700 lbs trading with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone and a pot load of 715 lb heifers off the same consignment as last week sold 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold mostly 2.00-4.00 lower on the average to lean cows with a few breakers selling near steady. Demand was moderate to good with supply light.
