As filed

Not enough on offer for a trend this week, however a firm undertone noted on the 6-weight heifers and 7-weight steers. Demand was moderate to good. Supply was light with a few attractive groups in the mix. Bitter cold gripped the region starting late last week and expected to be in the area for another week.
