Compared to last week most classes of steers and heifers were lower. Feeder steers below 600 lbs. were 8.00 to 10.00 lower and above 600 lbs. were 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 450 to 600 lb. were 7.00 to 11.00 lower. Buyers were reluctant to push the market as the roads were ice covered today and a major storm predicted for tomorrow with 12 plus inches of snow in the area. Most buyers could not get trucks to move the calves from the sale. Some very nice runs and loads of quality calves in todays sale. Flesh condition was light to moderate on todays offering.
