As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales of feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Trade activity was light on moderate to good demand. Receipts were curbed due to heavy snow the area received last weekend causing muddy conditions. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 higher.
