As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700lbs traded mostly steady to firm throughout with 550lb steers trading up to 6.00 higher. Steers over 700lbs had little to compare to last week but traded with a steady to firm undertone. Feeder heifers traded unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Supply was light with snowy winter weather conditions moving into the area and demand moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 lower, and replacement cattle were in very light supply.
