Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold fully steady. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Once again weather factored in to the market as the extreme cold kept some consignments at home for at least another week but the cattle that did make it to town sold with moderate to good demand. Brutally cold temperatures here at midweek are expected to be followed by a big warm up this weekend which will challenge even the most bulletproof cattle, but buyers didn't seem too cautious when filling orders. Supply moderate.
