Compared to last week: Steer calves under 550 lbs. 2.00-6.00 lower, calves over 550-600 lbs. 3.00 higher. Feeders 600-700 lbs. 2.00-4.00 higher, over 700 lbs. 1.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs.1.00-5.00 lower on comparable quotes, over 600 lbs. 3.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, no comparison on bulls due to limited receipts. Trade and demand moderate due to a cold, windy winter storm in the trade area with snow and icy road conditions in some areas.
