As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady, feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower except 500-600 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Demand for this lighter offering of feeder cattle was good this week. Receipt were lighter with the artic weather that is crossing the Midwest. Corn futures sharply higher continue to add pressure to the feeder market. Flesh conditions were moderate. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher except Breaker cows 2.00 lower. Bulls steady.
