Compared to two weeks ago: Steers and heifers sold steady to instances 3.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade was active on good demand. Temperatures are back to "normal", after the winter storm blew through last week closing down the area. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 higher on a light test.
