Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison available on steer or heifer calves or feeders due to the majority of receipts this week being unweaned or fleshy and a winter storm in the area limiting demand. A few 700-750 lb. steers steady and a few 500-550 lb. heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Trade and demand moderate due to the winter storm with some limited moisture and windy conditions with temperatures nearing freezing. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower. Trade active, demand good for replacements and slaughter cows and bulls with temperatures moderating Thursday.
