First snowstorm came through the Sioux Falls area today, causing a late start and possibly some cattle didn't make the trip. Regardless, it was a big sale today. Compared to last week: light steers, 450-550 lbs were steady to 1.00 higher with instances up to 7.00 higher. Steers 600-700 lbs were mostly 4.00-8.00 lower. Heavier steer calves 750-800 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher. Heifers, 700-800 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher. Light heifers were sharply lower. Numerous load lots offered on mostly lighter calves with a few loads of 800 lb cattle. Many smaller packages in the mix. Demand was good, especially on larger packages. Moderate on most colored cattle.
