As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 3.00-8.00 higher, the most advance on 450-550 lbs. No comparison on feeders due to limited receipts. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher, bulls 2.00 higher instances 6.00 higher on high yielding bulls. Receipts limited due to the state wide winter storm making transport difficult.
