As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 2.00 lower, with the exception of 650-700 lb heifers which traded firm. Steer calves traded unevenly steady on a light test. Heifer calves traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher, with instances of 10.00 to 15.00 higher on lighter weights. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 to 4.00 higher on a light test. Quality was very attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of large load lots of yearlings or long weaned cattle off the short wheat or grass. Buyer demand was good on moderate to active trading activity. A winter storm warning is in effect for the next two days with snow totals predicted from 3 to 5 inches across the trading region.
