As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a very light run this week mostly due to the light snow and sleet on Thursday, with the best test on 500-550 lb steers trading 10.00-15.00 higher and 550-600 lbs on a light test 5.00-10.00 higher and 600-650 lbs selling with a firm undertone, feeder heifer were lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold firm to spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
