Compared to last week steers less than 500 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher, over 500 lbs sold 4.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers over 500 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher and bulls sold steady. Demand was moderate to good. Wintery weather across the state shortens receipts at various reporting auctions and took some demand off feedlot placements. The slaughter steer and heifer market were just behind the eight-ball last week with the market not taking off until Friday in most trading regions and the Iowa sales had already taken place.
