Compare to last week, steers and heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, 600 to 700 lb steers unevenly steady, 600 to 700 lb heifers steady to 2.00 higher, steers and heifers over 700 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand good for calves, moderate for yearlings, supply moderate. Cattlemen contending with very muddy conditions with no end in sight, making it difficult for calving and feeding.
