Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers mostly steady to firm except heifers 500-600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. Demand good. Supply light. Fairly light offering to start the year with overnight rain and muddy conditions. Barring any black swans or economic meltdowns, supply/demand fundamentals look to be in the cow/calf producers favor in 2023 with fed cattle trading as high as 161.00 live last week.
