As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, except 800 lbs - 850lbs steady to 2.00 lower, heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Lighter weight steers sold with much higher undertones this week. Demand for this nice offering of cattle was good. Cattle carried a little more flesh than we have seen in the past few weeks. Several nice lots of yearlings sold. Several farmer buyers came to buy today. No markets today due to President's Day. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls steady.
