Compared to two weeks ago 550 to 700 lbs steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good with buyers bidding readily on top quality, long time weaned, mostly one iron steers and heifers. Several consignments weighed less than many producers thought as cattle came through a brutal snowstorm less than a week ago and most were light fleshed. Receipts a tick less than advertised due to the poor country road conditions. Next special calf and feeder auction will be in two weeks on February 7th.
