As filed

Compared to last week, Friday's market was lightly tested, but found itself in the grip of a winter storm moving across the Plains and Midwest with arctic type temperatures approaching demand was light to moderate. The feeder supply consisted of several lots and groups of Braunvieh cross feeders along with several smaller groups and packages all selling with a lower undertone. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm, with slaughter cows trading firm to 5.00 higher.
