Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers traded unevenly steady with a light offering of 4-5 weights 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifers 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Not a lot of cattle on the move this week after some rain and then winter weather with the snow serving as a sufficient insulator for the mud underneath. The local market held up pretty well regardless of the weather conditions and a few empty buyers seats. Good quality and good condition throughout the day didn't hurt anything either. Supply light, demand moderate, good in spots.
