13,949 19,302 24,008
Supply: Slaughter Cows 10 percent; Slaughter Bulls 3 percent; Feeder cattle 85
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 33 percent and

approximately 59 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
Steers and Heifers sold mostly 3.00-5.00 higher with instances up to 8.00
higher on lightweight Steer calves. Regaining most of last weeks decline prices
were aided by a favorable Cattle on Feed report and Japan upping the age limit
on fed cattle from 20 months of age to 30 months of age. Demand good for all
classes. Frigid temperatures, ice and snow continue to slow down the movement
of cattle to market.
