As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Steer calves traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves traded mostly weak to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady on a light test. Quality was very attractive, with several nice loads of Colorado cattle ranging from turn out weights to yearlings. There were several smaller packages of weaned calves off of the short wheat or hay on offer as well. Trading activity was moderate on moderate buyer demand. Buyers were a little more hesitant today following the bearish Cattle on Feed report coupled with high corn prices. Colder temperatures with a chance of 1 to 3 inches of snow is forecasted for tomorrow. The area is still in desperate need of moisture, so the snow will be a welcome sight.
