Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on some steer calves weighing 550-625 lbs and heifer calves weighing 450-525 lbs. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. Cattle futures have been supportive to start the week. It's been pretty dry for awhile but now it is becoming more concerning the further we get into spring with very little moisture so far for this area. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-12.00 lower than two weeks ago, the last time cows were reported on.
