Compared to last week steer and heifer calves sold unevenly steady, instances 2.00-5.00 higher; limited test of yearlings steady, instances 6.00 higher on feeders over 900 lbs. Demand good for all classes as receipts were shortened due to the extreme cold and snow that moved across the state this week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady, and feeder cows steady to 3.00 lower. First special bred cow sale of the fall at Torrington Livestock with some complete dispersals offered with moderate demand noted. Riverton Livestock Auction will continue to sell load-lot feeder cattle every Tuesday, however, the slaughter cows and bulls will sell on Friday through the fall run. That Friday sale will not be reported or included in this report.
