Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate buyer demand. Receipts were lighter today as the majority of the trading region received some much need moisture in the form of 1 to 3 inches of snow.
