As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers weighing 450-700 lbs and heifers weighing 400-650 lbs sold mostly 10.00-25.00 higher with 400-450 lb and 600-650 lb steers tacking on even more sharper higher advances in spots, with a pot load of steers weighing 891 lbs selling 9.00-12.00 higher than last weeks pot load of similar weight with the other pot loads of 800-935 lb steers trading with a higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply despite 3-5 inches of snow falling with slick roads. Overall a good quality offering of steers and heifers sold on and active market after CME Cattle futures ended last week's last two sessions with sharply higher gains had buyers more aggressive to own feeders. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher, spots 8.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
