Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 4.00-8.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves were 6.00-12.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. The largest draft of the day was 162 hd. of 962 lb. steers that brought 213.00/cwt. Most are dealing with muddy conditions but sunshine and 60 degree days have helped. Those that managed to bring cattle to the sale barn are relieved they no longer have to feed them, as they watched hay supplies rapidly shrink during the recent Arctic Blast.
