As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher on the loads of crossbred steers. Feeder heifers were mostly steady on limited comparable sales. The smaller packages of the shorter weaned cattle and calves were weak to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower, instances of 7.00 lower. A cold front moved into the area dropping temperatures into the 40's, which seemed to make buyers more hesitant on purchasing the short weaned and unweaned calves. There is a chance of rain in the forecast, which area winter wheat crops could really use.
