Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers 800 lbs traded 4.00 lower with all other classes of steers depending on flesh traded steady with instances 6.00 higher on long stings of load lots. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady with the exception of a 550 to 650 lb heifer trading 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Lots of long stings of cattle today with very muddy conditions and snowing falling throughout the day. Again flesh and body condition playing a big part in the comparisons this week to last week. Wet weather in the area has pen conditions sloppy with less desire for buyers to fill there pens. Sale again next Wednesday.
