Compared to last week's very active market, this week's adverse weather conditions put pressure on the feeder cattle market with 500-750 lb steers and 500-700 lb heifers selling 10.00-12.00 lower with spots 15.00 lower on the 6 weight heifers. With the first severe winter storm of the season impacting much of the cattle feeding areas of the Plains and Midwest and with high winds and colder temperatures approaching buyers were in a much more cautious mood this week. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.
