As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded steady to 2.00 lower. Trade was active on moderate to good demand. Feedyards were hesitant to buy cattle as corn prices have increased throughout the week. The area received several inches of much needed moisture with the snow that swept across last weekend.
