Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Good demand for all weights of steers and heifers, but with the cash fed cattle market backing off from its' highs and the volatility in the futures contracts the feeder market was under a little pressure. Very cold weather kept some cattle producers from getting their cattle hauled to town. Improved demand for replacement quality heifers as more of those kinds are starting be offered in the auctions, as is normal for this time of the year. Colder weather in the forecast for next week as well, auctions have already been cancelled for the week.
