As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test was on steers weighing 600-800 lbs and heifers weighing 600-700 lbs trading firm to 3.00 higher. A very good offering of top quality black replacement heifers weighing 650-800 lbs sold with very good demand on and active market with plenty of buyers on the seats and internet bidding. Slaughter cows on a very light test sold steady to firm with spots 3.00 higher. Demand was good on bulk of the feeders weighing 600-800 lbs on a moderate offering on a very cold sale day as temperatures were hovering above the zero mark with colder weather coming in over the weekend.
