As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers weighing over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower; steers and heifers weighing under 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Trade was fairly active on moderate demand. Icy road conditions with more chances of rain and snow throughout the day in the trading area. Feedlots are mostly full and watching increasing corn prices. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with a higher undertone.
