Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, based on light comparisons steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Several loads and reputation strings of yearlings and calves were on hand to kick off the new year and supply was moderate to heavy, but the rain, ice and snow over the weekend prevented more from making their way to town. Cattle futures were sharply lower on Monday and stabilized on Tuesday but have been quite volatile; corn and beans have surged higher which puts cost of gains much higher than the last several years. Demand was mostly moderate, good in spots. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
