Compared to last week: Too few comparable weights of feeder steers and heifers to make a good comparison. A lighter offering this week as a severe winter storm moved across the area over the weekend making for impossible travel conditions throughout the day on Sunday. A few long strings of yearling steers and heifers, offered in full loads and multiple load lots, along with a few small consignments of lighter cattle. The market was pretty active for the packages of light cattle. The market on the yearlings was moderately active, cattle feeders are feeling pressured from new resistance in the fat cattle market and need to buy cattle with lower breakeven prices. Flesh condition of yearlings moderate to heavy.
