As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, since the majority of last weeks supply consisted of bred cows. However, a much higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady on a light test. Buyer demand was good on active trading activity. Buyer demand seems to still be riding the excitement of the grain boards closing lower most of last week, even though they closed higher both yesterday and today. Additionally, fat cattle futures are holding strong by closing higher again today. A cold front moved back into the area bringing some snow flurries with it, but no notable precipitation was recorded.
