As filed

Compared to the last couple of week's light runs: Not enough comparable sales of any class of cattle for a market trend. Trade activity was active on good demand after two weeks of curbed receipts due to snow. Cold temperatures remain, but cattlemen were able to get their cattle to market this week.
