Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady and heifers sold unevenly steady with the calves sellings with a lower undertone and yearlings trading with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was moderate to good for yearlings, moderate for the higher quality calves and light in spots for the plainer or fleshy calves. Supply was light. The first winter storm of the season is making an impact on the market as freezing precipitation kept some cattle from making it to town and had buyers very cautious about taking on higher risk calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 1.00 higher.
