As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle 1.00-2.00 higher in a light test as inclement weather conditions and the upcoming holidays are affecting movement of livestock in the trade area. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Trade very active with very good demand.
