As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower, 500-600 lbs sold 3.00-5.00 lower, spots 7.00 lower on the 550-600 lb steers, 600-700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower and yearling steers over 750 lbs traded steady. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold 5.00-7.00 lower with two pot loads of top quality blk yearling heifers weighing 697 and 710 lbs selling with a sharply higher undertone. Winter weather hit the trade area on Monday with near 3 inches of snow, gusty winds, cold temperatures and slick side roads did not help the feeder calf market as demand for calves was moderate at best and light demand for unweaned and short weaned calves. Yearlings sold with good demand. Slaughter cow were mostly average to low dressing cows and sold mostly steady.
