Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher with instances of 12.00 higher, except 450 - 500lbs, 700 - 750lbs, 800 - 850lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher, except 550 lbs - 700 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, with instances of 14.00 on 450 lbs - 500 lbs. Demand for this nice offering of eye appealing cattle was good. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand, along with larger lots, and cattle with at least 2 rounds of shots. Most cattle were hauled in over night. Several cancellations this week due to the scare of an ice and snow storm moving in this afternoon. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
