As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 2.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Winter wheat planting continues across the region. Temperatures have warmed back up to the upper 80's and lower 90's during the day and dropping down to the 50's and 60's at night.
