Compared to last week: steers from 550 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher, steers from 650 lbs to 699 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 higher, steers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower, steers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower and steers from 850 lbs to 899 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Heifers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs were generally steady, heifers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower, heifers from 650 lbs to 699 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher, heifers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Over all the green hay fed cattle were generally higher with a lot of demand for these cattle as yearling prospects. Heavier, fleshier, back grounded cattle were mostly softer in price and demand compared to last week. A very active market with lots of buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus cattle coming out of grow yards. Several long strings of reputation cattle offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle. Several cancellations today as winter weather and strong winds hampered movement of cattle. Next feeder sale is in two weeks, March 24, 2023
